Xp speed with older Pathfinder material


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Just about to start a new pathfinder game using the older adventure paths (that were written for 3.5), not sure if this has been asked yet but what xp speed should I be using to make sure that the PCs are actually at the required level at the required time?

We've just started runniing LoF with PFRPG xp standard rate and have found that to be about right. My players are a little behind but they have 5 in the party so that seems to balance out.

3.5 APs are supposed to be run with 4 players with fast progression.


I had a quick question about XP that I'd rather not start a whole new thread over. If you are using 3.5 Monster Manuals, which you kind of have to do for now, how do you calculate XP? Is there a CR -> XP chart somewhere or something?

Yes.

See http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/gamemastering.html and look for "Experience Point Awards".
