Please explain EXP penalties..?

[strides]

How do the penalties carry over in a group?

for example:
If a bard has a 40% penalty when he is in a group then does the entire group now have a 40% penalty?

I just am hard pressed to believe that is how it would work. If any one actually knows how this works fill me in.

class penalty should be equated


race penalty should be to the PC with the race penalty only

Penalties are applied to each player, not the group.

No penalty is applied to the group, but the group suffers for it nonetheless. Read the link.

Bottom line: A shit halfling warrior is NEVER a better choice vs a well played Iksar Warrior or Troll SK. Regardless of any effect to your xp pixels. Pick the best player for the need regardless of their race or hybrid choice.

Basically characters with an xp penalty get a slightly bigger share of the xp in a group. This means when grouping with friends no one gets left behind (unless if they die waaaay to much).
