You are doing your math wrong.

That makes more sense, but then the math in the FAQ is also wrong.

Exp penalties are multiplied not added, so a troll sk would be (1.4 x 1.2 = 1.68 or 68% penalty).

It would seem that the math is wrong, because normal experience should be considered 1.0, penalties are beneath that...

So as a troll sk, it should be .6 x .8 = .48, which to me, means a 52% penalty, and not 68%.

What are the experience penalties/bonuses?
By Race:
Troll -20%
Iksar -20%
Ogre -15%
Barbarian -5%
Halfling +5%

By Class:
Paladin / Shadowknight / Ranger / Bard -40%
Monk -20%
Wizard / Magician / Enchanter / Necromancer -10%
Rogue +9%
Warrior +10%

Exp penalties are multiplied not added, so a troll sk would be (1.4 x 1.2 = 1.68 or 68% penalty).

Halfling warrior would be 1.05 x 1.1 = 1.155, or a 15.5% bonus.
Halfling rogue would be 1.05 x 1.09 = 1.1445 or a 14.4 (or 14.5)% bonus.
Troll Warrior would be .8 x 1.1 = .88 or a 12% penalty.
Ogre Warrior would be .85 x 1.1 = .935 or a 6.5% penalty.
Barbarian Warrior would be .95 x 1.1 = 1.045 or a 4.5% bonus.
Troll Shadowknight would be .8 x .6 = .48 or a 52% penalty
Ogre Shadowknight would be .85 x .6 = .51 or a 49% penalty.

I think you get the idea. If this is wrong, please correct me because as far as I am concerned, bonuses go ABOVE 1.0, and penalties go BELOW 1.0 and you're supposed to multiply the numbers together and the difference between the two numbers compared to the neutral 1.0 should be the penalty or bonus percentage.

complete a level = L^3 * C * R * H

R =
Barbarian 105
Dark Elf 100
Dwarf 100
Erudite 100
Gnome 100
Half Elf 100
Halfling 95
High Elf 100
Human 100
Iksar 120
Ogre 115
Troll 120
Vahshir 120
Wood Elf 100

C =
Bard 14
Beastlord 14
Cleric 10
Druid 10
Enchanter 11
Magician 11
Monk 12
Necromancer 11
Paladin 14
Ranger 14
Rogue 9.05
Shadow Knight 14
Shaman 10
Warrior 9
Wizard 11

H =
1-29 1.0
30-34 1.1
35-39 1.2
40-44 1.3
45-50 1.4

= L^3 * C * R * H

DE Clr
= 10^3 * 10 * 100 * 1
= 1,000,000 xp to go from lvl 1 to 10

Troll SK
= 10^3 * 14 * 120 * 1
= 1,680,000 xp to go from lvl 1 to 10

the difference is 680,000 which would mean the troll needs 68% more exp to lvl then the DE cleric.
