Can someone please point me towards an XP table? The one showing the amount for each level?
I'm currently AFB, and I can't remember the formula, so...
Thanks in advance.

I's current Level x1000 to reach next level, so to reach Lvl 2 is 1000, lvl 3 3000, lvl 4 6000, etc.

The sad thing is, as far as I can discern there is no formula. Itīs just random stuff.
EDIT: Okay, the encounter calculator isnīt helping. The base formula for a lvl appropriate encounter is 300*CR/Number of Characters. Deviate from this and it gets screwy, especially at lower lvls.

Supposedly, 13.333... CR-appropriate encounters will cause you to level. For a 4-person party, that's 75*CR xp per encounter, times 13.333... is 999.9999...*CR, so in other words it's (current level)*1000 to reach the next level, as stated above.

Total Experience to achieve the next level is the triangular numbers, 0.5n^2+0.5n (add your current level to the previous result works just as well, but it's less mathematical!).

Shh...no one's supposed to know that I'm playing the Devil's heathen game. I'm just a lowly religion major.

You mean 1000(0.5x^2 - 0.5x) -> 500(x^2-x), right?

Not to be difficult, but isn't that table specifically not under the OGL?

It most surely is... and that makes posting it against the forum rules as well :smallconfused:

Well, the table may be, but the formula can't, technically be copyrighted, if i recall correctly.
Which is why you could, in theory, sell a copy of D&D if you changed all the words.
Best not to walk that line though

Ooops. Yep, multiply them all by 1000.
