Currently suffering a 20% XP penalty.

I'm in no rush for a solution, I mean, XP isn't the be-all and end-all of my play time, but I sure would be much obliged if you could have a boo at this for me.

Ciao baby.

As far as I know that's unfixable. It's been brought up multiple times before.

It's easily fixable. Boost my given XP by 25%.

Hilarity. Sadly, subrace favoured classes are not scriptable.

At least, to my knowledge!

I don't get it? You get exp penalty for not having the subraces favorite class, and in your case you got two of them?

If so, then why should you get normal exp?

One of those two is the favoured class of the Wild Elf, but due to hardcoded restrictions, they can't make it work.

Boosting your XP would be pointless, because you'd stop receiving the penalty once your levels were in line, and from there would be receiving more XP than you should. Yes, "Leave it", you say in faux-seriousness.

Much like losing skillpoints when playing a subrace with an intelligence boost, this is unfortunately something you're going to have to grin and bear.

I think I raised this last time the issue came up, but the races and application races sections of the website and forums need to state this clearly!

The website's in the midst of a large overhaul. I suppose we can throw this on the communal pile!

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. You're refusing to fix my XP...why, again? I have 1 Sorcerer level and that isn't going to change, which means that I'm not going to be getting more than the proper amount of XP if you give me a 25% boost.

My levels will not be in line, as you said, so what do bonuses do I get in exchange for what is essentially a non-application Level Adjustment penalty?

I suppose it's possible, but it's cumbersome and quite frankly low priority. I may have a look at the subrace scripts in the future and see if there's a couple lines I can add, but I won't guarantee anything.

In this case, it would be a personalised script.
