So if two people were grouped and killed a mob worth 100 xp, it would divide it up based on those things. For characters with no bonus or penalty it would be an even 50:50 split. But lets say one character had a 50% penalty, they'd get 75 points of the xp while the other player would get 25 points of the xp. Visually they would level at the same rate since the character with the penalty needs more xp for the same level.

Now all class penalties are gone. And racial bonus's and penalties aren't shared anymore. So halfling warriors are going to level even faster!
I see so halfling warriors will level even faster but be less beloved by groups who no longer share in their bonus? so penalty races will level slower, but at the same time be less hated... then again.. no one ever hated sharing the racial experience penalty just the class one... maybe I should reroll my ogres into halflings! thanks for the clear explanation!
