Quick question on exp pen.
Does the racial penalties, say from a troll, effect the whole group when grouping if they are in the party or just the individual player... Heard this so much last night, and I always assumed that it was just the player who got the penalties and not his whole party if he is in the group with them..

I believe racial, class, and hell penalties are all equally shared among the group.

There was a patch recently that discontinued the sharing of racial and hell level exp penalties with the group. You only get their class penalty now iirc...
Correction: Hell Level exp penalties were removed per patch notes, not racial penalties. My eyes be playin' tricks on me... | ||

Some sort of penalty is definitely shared.
I was grouped in solb a while back, our lvl 45 Ogre Sk (second lowest penalty I believe) and my 45 Halfling Rog (Second highest bonus) we were getting Equal exp. Though there were 2 other hybrids in group so if class penalty is shared we may have just been brought down to a maximum penalty and been gaining minimum exp... idfk

so if there's six troll sks in a hypothetical group, would the group just have a fucking ridiculous penalty? or does the group only get a single troll-sk penalty applied to it?
this game is so hard omg | ||

It adds for each hybrid.

The penalties are spread evenly throughout the group. If you have six troll SKs, the penalty is just the troll SK penalty (68%) with the full group bonus added on (10%), so it'll be something like a 58% penalty. If you have a group of five wood elf druids (no penalty or bonus) and a theoretical race+class that has a 60% penalty, then everyone has a 10% penalty, and as always the group bonus is factored in. I haven't heard of any recent P99 patch removing penalty sharing, but I'd be interested in any information/evidence about it. The premise of the penatly/bonus sharing is that everyone in the group should level equally fast, assuming you're the same level. I don't remember what's done when people of different levels are in the group, except that mob exp is calculated based on the highest-level person - so if it cons light blue to that person, you're gonna get reduced EXP from it.

Is there any proof of this? It makes so sense that a if you have one Troll in a group of humans that everyone takes an XP hit. If that's true then a full group of SK Troll's would get nothing. Personally when grouping, I have not noticed a slower XP gain because of this.

There has to be some sort of shared penalty, theres no way a halfling rog and ogre sk would be gaining equal exp otherwise...
