Talk:Character progression

It is said that the average character level (ACL) determines the xp gained. The lower the group's ACL the lower the xp, I thought.

When I came to the part in the OC where one has to fight this big nasty red dragon, I tested this statement. My char was a lvl 15 Yuan-Ti Pureblood (maybe 16, but that does not matter), Khelgar was of lvl 17, of course. Together we gained about 700xp for killing the dragon. I then replayed this part but added two more lvl 17 companions, raising the ACL to 16.5, which I thought might make a difference. Well it did, the four-man party gained 1200xp.

Did I miss something? How can this be?
