First off - Love the new System! I've been running 3.5 and Pathfinder for many years now. There are many exciting changes to 2e that I'm really interested in. Unfortunately, one of the more confusing ones is the new XP system. I purchased the 'Fall of Plaguestone' adventure to run and find myself baffled by the XP awards. I've seen Severe 1, Moderate, and High just to name a few but the Core Rulebook is sadly lacking in examples or full descriptions on how to decipher all this into a playable system.I have several questions:

Why are they seemingly using the 'XP Awards' and 'Encounter Budget' charts interchangeably?

What is the difference between a Severe 1 and Severe 2? What about a 'Moderate 3'? How do you calculate the XP for each?

What is a "High 2"? How do I calculate that?

If someone can point me to a link that will better explain this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
