Roleplay Rating effected by ECL

Post by Mayonnaise » Mon Sep 08, 2014 2:23 am

Note: RPB is no longer affected by ECL. The charts below now have no function in Arelith apart from giving a general impression of the effect size of ECL on your XP gains from murdering monsters and bandits.

Credits are due to the original poster on the old forums, The Count of Monte Cristo. Original post here!

Below I've done the math for the more common ECLs (-2.5 to 4) for 10-60 exp (so for a 40+MoD)

You'll likely note the 20 chart is different from the one Mith posted, because Mith forgot to round down, instead just rounding to the nearest whole number.

Edit: I put them into jpegs. I'll keep the original charts below, for those who prefer those

I think your math is off. My lvl 13 ranger with a 20 RpR and +3 ECL currently gets 17 xp per game hour.

That doesn't sound right.

(13/16)*20=16.25

Are you sure it isn't +2 ECL?

I'm not sure on the values; these were all made by TheCountOfMonteCristo.

I've done some quick number crunching and it turns out that your roleplay bonus is = to the # of friends you've lost due to all the time we spend on Arelith.

There you have it. That's why he is TheCountOfMonteCristo and not TheCountOfRolePlayBonus

I noticed that different kinds of ECL effects RPR differently, for example my RPR is 20, as my Gnoll my bonus 17 and has no gifts, same with my teifling it has bonus of 19 and no gifts. My humans with no gifts has bonus of 20, my one human who has +1 ECL from gifts does have 15 bonus.

This is a bit of a late reply, but I imagine your differences in RpR are due to the subraces. I believe both Gnoll and Tiefling subraces have ECL applied.

gnoll and teifling both have an ECL of +1 so in theory should have the same bonus....

Unless multiclass penalty counts against the RPR tick or classes somehow counting against people differently?

In theory it should yes but fact is they don't which means the ECL system is bugged entirely.

Can you support that claim?

It would really help to have specific examples of the problems that you're seeing, if you want it to be fixed.

Race, Gift Choices, Level, Base RPR, and apparent RPR.


The multiclass penalty does not count against RPR.

I shall log in and confirm their current RPR bonuses to confirm however, I'll delete this thread if mmmm the RPR bonuses matches the bit on character levels.

There's no RPR bonus above 40 I thought? What's the two additional tables for? MOD is a straight twenty and isn't affected by RPR.

MoD adds directly to total RPB, and is affected by ECL.

According to this, my Level 3 MNK/ Level 4 Cleric has an ECL of -.5. No gifts, no backgrounds. Any idea why?

Because RPR now affects ECL on RPR. Something like -0.5 ECL per 10 RPR on RPR Experience.

Oh, I'll spin the rumor mill:
I heard it goes like
10=0
20=- 0.5
30= -1
And so on.
