Determining XP for Class and a Half characters
When halving the XP for the supporting class, do I round the result up or down? >.>
Re: Determining XP for Class and a Half characters
Your call as the CK, one XP here or there isn't so big a deal. Or if you want to be precise, on every odd level, round down, on even levels round up (or the opposite).

Huh, good way of thinking! >.>koralas wrote:Your call as the CK, one XP here or there isn't so big a deal. Or if you want to be precise, on every odd level, round down, on even levels round up (or the opposite).
I think I'd round it down though, if there's no 'official' take on that.

If the player is short 1 XP on his character, do the correct thing as CK and say NO! Round up. Your players must respect the power of the CK.

+1 to this. In general, however (barring a dickish 1xp shortage) the FRPG Rule of Thumb is to round down (drop fractions). There are exceptions, of course, but I've always used the "When in doubt, round down rule."Omote wrote:If the player is short 1 XP on his character, do the correct thing as CK and say NO! Round up.
