Really though, the penalties are pretty dumb lol
Ranger has same penalty as a bard? What drugs were the original EQ developers on when they thought that sounded logical?

This has been explained to death, but basically the original EQ code paid a kind of homage to the D & D concept of hybrids; when the EQ versions of hybrids were actually weaker than the pures they attempted to splice, the devs (after a long time) just recognized them as regular classes with strengths/weaknesses just like the pure classes they emulated, but not any stronger, so not needing any kind of exp penalty.
However, the exp penalty is a part of the classic experience and it doesn't need to be whined about anymore.
