When looking at Class and a Half, I got to wondering on the XP requirements. The rules state...
Quote:
Experience points needed for level advancement are determined by
adding the XP of the principle class to one half the XP of the supporting
class.
Does this mean (as I think it does) for a Fighter/Wizard, take 100% of the XP for, say, level 6 Fighter, and 50% of the XP for level 6 Wizard? Or does it mean take 100% of the XP for level 6 Fighter, and 50% XP of level 3 Wizard? This would make a huge difference...
Consider at 50% of equal level...
Level....FighterXP....WizardXP....TotalXP
..2(1)..........2001.........1300......3301
..3(1)..........4001.........2600......6601
..4(2)..........8501.........5200.....13701
..5(2).........17001.......10400.....27401
..6(3).........34001.......21250.....55251
While at 50% of secondary class level...
Level....FighterXP....WizardXP....TotalXP
..2(1)..........2001..............0......2001
..3(1)..........4001..............0......4001
..4(2)..........8501.........1300......9801
..5(2).........17001........1300.....18301
..6(3).........34001........2600.....36601
Obviously the first chart makes class and a half pretty brutal with XP, while the second chart almost makes it look to low, especially since when you pickup the first level Wizard, it doesn't cost any XP. Over all I think I prefer the second method, but might move the XP chart down one level, so to become a 1st level Wiz (2nd level character) you need 1300 XP, then another 1300XP while you "maintain" the abilities (3rd level character), then 2600 to make 2nd level Wizard at char level 4, and another 2600 to "maintain" at char level 5, then 5200 to gain 3rd level Wizard... so the chart would be...
Level....FighterXP....WizardXP....TotalXP
..2(1)..........2001.........1300......3301
..3(1)..........4001.........1300......5301
..4(2)..........8501.........2600.....11101
..5(2).........17001........2600.....19601
..6(3).........34001........5200.....39201
Though, I would like to include the official response for the base framework.
Thanks!
