Say someone is ECL +2 then in a ECL 5 campaign said character is level 3. But at level 3, to get to the next level they need to have the same experience of level 7 to get to level 4?

I know you said yes, and I thank you, I am however angry at the people who did not say yes and elaborate.

Why get pissed? They were just joking around, you gotta learn to just Roll With It.

An ECL link that may explain some things. Watch from 2:00-2:20 specifically.

Why level 7 instead of 6, Tom?
And Blayne, tone down the sense of entitlement.

Which edition?

You would be correct. I misread his question; all those 3s threw me.
So, Blayne, the answer to your question is actually "no." The longer answer is that an ECL +2 character with three class levels has an Effective Character Level of 5, and thus to add a fourth class level must earn the experience required for a sixth -- not seventh -- character level.
Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :
is vindicated.
Posted by MattP (Member # 10495) on :
is ambivalent.
Posted by Mucus (Member # 9735) on :
requires more dance.

It should be noted that if you are just beginning and don't understand basic concepts, you probably shouldn't be playing with ECL races, unless you value being awesum!1! more than understanding the rules and a balanced, fun game.
I realize that Blayne is going to go for his half-dragon, half-unicorn, half-elf, half-cat girl lv 30 Pretty, Pretty Princess (homebrew prestige class) with her sparkly vampire boyfriend, but this is more advice for other people who might just be starting out and reading this for advice.

Oh and in addendum Dragons are awesome, you most definitely are not.

Control your 2cond grade anger, and start using grown-up level language to express yourself.

Blayne, please edit out the profanity in your posts, and refrain from using it in the future.

This is a nod to the Dark Sun 2E campaign setting.
Let me warn you against letting him be psionic, by the way. Psionics are hard to run, and they add a whole new set of rules -- and monsters -- that you need to figure out and balance. They're not worth it.
Once you've run a few games, THEN you can think about introducing the psionics rules.

And Squicky is being a jackass and until he stops I won't.

I hadn't looked at it but the power points given to it didn't seem particularily good, especially if he takes barbarian or fighter rather then a psionic class.
I have the expanded psionics handbook, ill look into it before decided whether to have it or not, but I think its going to be moot as he wants a more physical kind of class, he wants to be a half giant because hes in real life like 8 feet tall and broad shouldered.
