How to use it
Choose a base cost, growth rate, level count, and curve. The table shows XP to the next level and cumulative XP; it is a planning aid, not a balance verdict.
- Set the starting XP and number of levels.
- Compare linear, quadratic, and exponential growth.
- Download CSV or JSON and playtest the time between levels.
Read the CSV or JSON in your progression data. Match its level numbering and XP units to your game.
Questions
- What is total XP?
- The cumulative XP needed to reach that point in the table.
- Which curve is best?
- The right curve depends on how fast players earn XP. Test actual play time before adopting the values.
