Your leveling up method seems like a great thing for a play test. I haven't heard if the leveling up rate in the play test rules is meant to be kept for the main printing.

I wouldn't do that if I were you...

While it's great for one-shots or short campaigns it will not work well for long term campaigns. The main reason is character advancement rates.. fabulous as long as no one has a character die, but as soon as they do they are hosed. With the current system there is NO WAY for a new character to catch back up to the rest of the party. There are meta game methods such as the DM just gifts the character the appropriate level. Personally, I don't like that.

With progressively higher XP requirements for each level it becomes possible for new characters to close the level gap by their own efforts.

Just sayin.
