Experience point table


Homebrew and House Rules


I see that one of the things that changed from 3.x to Pathfinder is the experience point table for advancing in levels.

In 3rd edition, I always used my own XP system with the 3rd edition table, which gave about half the XP for killing monsters as given in the DMG charts, and then the PCs could make up the other half through role playing awards, story awards, and bonuses. It was nice, and simple.

I don't see a pattern in the new Pathfinder table, but I see there is a column for Slow, Medium or Fast advancement.

My question is whether it would break the game to continue using the old charts. The only potential problem that I could see is the effect on item creation feats and spells with XP components. But as DM I might be willing to live with that :-)

Good News... Item Creation XP cost and XP cost for spells are Gone in The Pathfinder RPG!


So I guess there is no reason not to make this my first house rule then: using the 3E XP table and my own system for XP.
