Question on race/class experience modifers

[Bashez]

I hate the phrasing of penalty. It implies that someone with a 50% penalty receives half experience from kills. Which would end up being extremely severe for troll SKs! A 40% penalty means they require 40% more experience points. That means troll SKs have a 68% experience bonus because they get to enjoy the game 68% longer.

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).

This kinda hurts to see put into words... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do hybrid penalties come to play on how much exp you lose when you die? I've noticed that at least during hell lvls I'd lose alot less exp.

At 42 pain and suffering ate about 1 yellow (playing an ogre SK). Is this like 1 + half a yellow to, lets say, a human cleric? =o

dark elf cleric, its ~1 yellow you loose when you die at that level

Even as a Halfling rogue I was losing ~1 yellow at most levels over 30 (can't remember when it started to be that much). So I don't think the penalty or bonuses carry over to deaths.

I could be wrong, but based on my experiences and what you're saying it doesn't seem to be the case.

Ranger / Bard -40% exp bonus

Makes absolutely no sense to me, what is the reason for it?

I can understand:
Troll -20%
Iksar -20%
Ogre -15%
Warrior +10%

But not any of the others.
Monk -20% makes no sense either. Is it because of FD? I've seen tons of monks die from failed FD.

Class penalties are retarded and illogical and that's why they were removed.

Racial penalties make sense.
