Something I've noticed. I'm running a party of four characters through Life's Bazaar. They've just cleaned out the upper level, and are headed down below.
They started as a Dwarf Ranger (0xp), a Svirfneblin Illusionist (6000xp), a Human Monk (0xp), and a half-elf Rogue (0xp).
Since then, the Monk has faded away / died, been replaced by a paladin who died, they hired a mercenary who ran off at the sight of a mimic that gakked the Paladin, and the Dwarf Ranger just got impaled by the Stone Spike doorman. Each time, I've had the player start a character one level below the party average.
The Rogue just hit 3rd level. So did the ranger, just before he died. The Illusionist is about to hit 2nd level, even with a hefty EL penalty of +3. And I've only been awarding 50% experience points.
The adventure says they should hit 4th level. I see them doing this even with the 50% XP award. Does this strike people as odd? Did other DMs find characters were above 4th level when the adventure was done? I'm curious...
