EXP Modifier

[Hollywood]

In the stats of the Documentation section, EXP modifier is listed for each class. Does this actually do anything?

[Particle]

Yes.  Certain classes are rewarded more EXP than others.

[Hollywood]

Wow. Never knew. I keep screwing myself by picking Bard...

[-eViL-]

thats odd particle.  normal tribes rpg does not use them so i do not see how you can say yes.

It was used in the oldGetLevel and oldGetEXP functions. This is back in AD&D days. The code was just left in there incase server owners would want to use the old exp system.

A lot of people complained about the new one when it first came out.

[Newbie]

Bards level fast too Hollywood..

Mages level the slowest, of course. >_<

[Hollywood]

I was looking at the EXP modifier, whre Bards get .8 That would be pretty big over time. If it doesn't matter, then my comment doesn't either.
