I personally hate the current mechanics of lowering the XP gained for ECL characters because, A: I like to just give out a solid reward of XP for finishing an adventure, rather than a seperate award for each encounter, and B: It just has a psychological annoyance factor to gain less XP than everyone else in the party. So what if you were to use the rules of "taking an empty level" that are used for bloodlines for ECL races? That way they could sort of "pay their way" all at once instead of getting a penalty on all XP gained throughout the game. I'm not really asking whether you would rather do it this way, as that is just personal preference. My question is whether you think this would be reasonably balanced and fair or if you can think of a reason why this would be a bad idea from a game-balance/fairness perspective.
