Was Shalore ever made to have greater XP penalty?

[Steven Aus]

What about reducing the XP penalty for some races, such as Thalore and Skeleton? They have a pretty big XP penalty at the moment, and they aren't normally as powerful as Shalore with a reduced penalty.

[bpat]

Shalore: 25%, Ogre: 30%, Thalore: 35%, Skeleton: 40%

Experience penalty doesn't have a huge impact aside from levels 20, 30, 36, and 42 timings but Skeleton and Thalore having more experience penalty than Shalore and Ogre is silly.

Agreed, especially for skeleton. Maybe its because skeletons aint got no brains

[Steven Aus]

So would we agree that maybe Thalore goes down to 25% and Skeleton goes down to 30% XP penalty?

Skele 20% Thalore 25% Shalore 35% Ogre 40%

Since there was not agreement, I decided to make an addon based on Shiela's comment.

What do people think of these values? It seems fairly balanced for Thalore. Do you feel that Skeleton should be the same as Thalore at 25% XP penalty, or are slightly weaker and need 20%? They level pretty fast at 20%, but then they can't use infusions (and thus have no access to regeneration or instant healing, though they do have good racial skills).

If people want to me to make any changes, and they are relatively well accepted here, then I will make a new addon so it doesn't affect people already using it.
