Halfing Cleric XP?
 

I read over the FAQ on experience penalties, but I just wanted to make sure I am reading this right.

Would it be about right to say that if two groups of equal composition other than the race of the cleric leveled to 50, would the group with the halfling cleric hit level 50 5% faster or am I missing something?

The difference would be less than 1 percent between the two groups. As an example, a group of a troll sk, a human ranger, a wizard, an enchanter, a dwarf rogue, and a halfling cleric (all level 40), would take 573 kills of level 40 mobs in a zone with an 85 ZEM to level to 41. If you replace the halfling cleric with a dwarf cleric, it takes only 4 more kills to level, 577.

Ok, so the bonus is shared throughout the group just like penalties, or in this case the lack of a penalty by having a cleric in the last spot vs a bard or SK. So picking a halfling cleric to hit max level faster isn't worth it over just picking the coolest looking race?

It provides almost zero benefit unless you solo most of the time.

actually, I'm not sure xp penalty is shared with group.


I reroll sk troll with a friend who did shaman troll.

he was 9 and I was still in my early 8
