So, my friends and I have decided we're going to get an Epic Six campaign up and running for Pathfinder.
However, the EXP system works differently for Pathfinder, with set values for monsters, and a slow/fast/medium pace.
For anyone familiar with the format, my group wants to know whether we should keep the 5000xp per feat after level six, or change it to something higher.
We plan on medium progression and random rolling for character creation.
Any advice/experience is appreciated!~
As far as I know, the pathfinder system of monsters having set XP instead of having a relative player level/monster CR lookup chart shouldn't affect this much at all. The player xp progression was also modified to maintain a roughly 13 appropriately-difficult-fights-per-level idea.
If I understand the reason for 5000 xp for the new feat, it is the same amount of xp you needed to go from 5th to 6th level in 3.5. So in Pathfinder, that number should be more like 8000 if you're using the medium progression track. The fast track would require only 5k.
I've never done any of this system, so I can't offer any suggestions or experience.
We just finished up an E6 game. It went pretty well and ended at E6+2. We did 5000 exp for post-6th feats and that worked great. We used 20 pt. buy, but if you want to use rolling be ready to adjust monster damages, etc., on the fly. You are going to end up with characters with disparate ability levels. Hope you have a great game! Let us know how it goes!
