Question about xp penalty in groups

[Dangermouse]

I don't think it is right.

Because xp split in a group is based on the total xp of the characters. If the cleric and SK started together at 0 xp, they'd be getting a 50/50 split from each mob. So the cleric would level after they'd killed 200n, and the SK after 336n.

And the cleric dinging wouldn't change matters, as xp split is based on total xp, not level.

It does seem to be an interesting theoretical situation - if these two characters only ever grouped together, they'd gain xp at exactly the same rate - but the hybrid would level more slowly.
