I understand that BP reduces some (all?) XP rewards. Out of curiousity, what type of rewards are reduced (all quest rewards, some CRE rewards, ....)? Also, how are they reduced? Are changes made at an individual, specific points or is there some general reduction somewhere?

If you really wish to know the mechanics of what I did, join the Big Picture Yahoo group and download the XP Table file. It is loosely based off of Gary Gygax' original 1E DM's Guide table (pp. 84-5). FYI-I didn't open the book; somebody tell me if I'm right/wrong on the page numbers...it's been a while

Suffice it to say this: it was a far superior system to the generic % reduction of values, but it was not "all-mod-inclusive". It covered BP-BGT (classic), and that was that. Every CRE file had to be calculated manually, according to this table. Weidu could never handle this sort of job with REG_EXP. I did it all by hand.

Do you still have a complete set of all BP-BGT-Creatures and would you mind charing them?
