1. Has anyone used it?

2. I know they gave a new advancement chart in line with the the new Monster XP Awards but I noticed that a CR1 = 300 XP in this system which corresponds to a Level 4 Character vs. a CR4 creature. I guess my question is this... Are CR1 creatures so powerful that they deserve 300xp?

2. Not quite sure what you're saying. In the table in the DMG, CR 1 monsters give 300 XP (for 1st-6th level). Has their power changed?

06-25-04, 05:04 PM I think you are referring to the "fixed" exp system, ala 2E. I don't like this system, myself, so i will never use it. Essentially it means if a 20th level character kills a hobgoblin, they get 300 exp. I don't buy it, myself. I like the system we have now, so that if you're high enough level, there's nothing you can learn by sneezing on a dire rat and killing it.

Sorry for any confusion...

It saves on paper work.
