exp penality link

Unread post by terror »

I dont know if i was dreaming but it seems there is some sort of exp penality for ecl1 but also for multiclass. Before i decided to join this server ive red a few other nwn2 forum and im not sure if the exp penality is related to this server or not. Ive been looking for an hour and i cannot find it to save my life.

Could I get a link that explain exp gain / exp penality on this server?

Thank you in advance.

when picking a Race there are two things to Note,
First If you pick a race such as planetouched or Drow ECT they have an ECL 1+
This means that Races of such require EXP as if they are higher level then they really are.
((I maybe wrong on the amounts but you get the point:
ECL +1 would take a level 1 Tiefling 3000 XP to level while a normal Human or elf would only take 1000))

Secondly, each race has a Favored class:
To make this simple a Dwarf's favored class is Fighter, this means regardless of the level of fighter the dwarf takes he wont suffer an XP pen.

Such as fighter 4 wizard 12 EK 10 would gain XP normally.

But if the Dwarf went rogue 5 wizard 12 ET 10, he would take a -20% xp pen, because Rogue and Wizard are not favored classes.


LASTLY, If a Dwarf goes say,
lvl 1 Warlock
lvl 2 Monk
lvl 3 Warlock
lvl 4 Monk
lvl 5 Warlock
lvl 6 Monk
then 10 levels assassin, he would not suffer an XP pen, because he is balanced in Both non favored class.

Should be on BGTSCC as it is explained on the Wiki:
