Hehe..I think it's great that some people really get into this detail stuff.
I think it's you guys who have really pushed through a lot of the beneficial
changes to the game. However, as much as I appreciate it, I don't get it.
:)

Too much like work! Personally, I get in the game, and do whatever is fun.
I have every character slot full, and I play whichever one strikes my fancy.
It just so happens that 98% of the time it's Atonal that gets played,
well..except lately...been playing my druid a lot...but that's about to
change...just as soon as my drums are fixed. :)

Atonal

If you're curious, my other chars:
19 HE Cleric
19 HLF Druid
10 Iksar SK
10 Iksar Nec
6 HE Mage
3 DE Nec
2 Hum War
heh... :)

>>> which COULD be the case depending on how verant programs level

checks. if they really have a separate experience table to check
against for each value of experience penalty, i.e. one for troll
sk's, one for iksar monks, etc, etc, then the system they have works
fine. if they create one experience table and ''normalize''
experience to it, i.e. calculate experience by this formula:
Exp_gained = Base_exp * class_pen * race_pen, then they have really
just moved the penalty, although it is much more easily avoided, as
in get a rez or just don't die.<<<

Can you show me an example with your above formula to show how the
penalty would be moved? I'm don't grasp the concept you're stating
with just the formula.
