Also, just a general side note (not to Swish specifically, but someone above referenced to the xp penalty), although it is a racial -20%, because of the fact that Necros have a base -10%, and that the experience modifiers are multiplicative, being an Iksar Necro really nets -32% experience, so it is -22% more of a penalty from other Necros.

iksar necro receives 20% less exp than non-iksar necro. Thus to compensate, the iksar needs to kill 25% more mobs.

Lets say a kill gives 100 exp to a zero penalty class/race. Non-iksar necro will get 90 experience per kill, and iksar necro will get 72 exp per kill. How much more is 90 than 72? It's 20% more. The non-iksar would get 360 exp in 4 kills, the iksar would get 360 exp in 5 kills. 4 is 20% of 5, and 5 is 25% more than 4.
