I'm just curious, but what exactly was the rationale, if there ever was one, as to why the XP penalty was implemented on certain classes?

Casters.. 10% Flat xp penalty? Why? Don't they kinda have it hard-enough with having to sit on the ground 85% of the time, pay for spells, find said spells, etc?

I understand the racial penalties, but I think those could have been handled better too. Instead of terrible XP penalties, maybe just further reduce their dexterity and agility. Seems pretty straightforward, but I've never understood the XP penalty system.

The hybrid classes written up in design documents or conceived in the heads of the devs originally were supposed to have a much larger advantage than they ended up having in practice, especially after Kunark was released.
