BWAAAAAH!
[BG3] my party isn't all the same level?????
BWAAAAAH!
that can HAPPEN?
Rama
So you know that tiny, tiny sliver of XP you get for Inspirations
Rama
THAT only goes to the Inspired character
Rama
So you can end up with one character having like...25-50 XP more than the others
Rama
If that happens to put them over a level requirement, then they will very briefly be higher level
BWAAAAAH!
I wouldn't MIND except it's not my PC who's the higher level
BWAAAAAH!
I MUST BE THE COOLEST
Rama
Happened to me with Wyll on my replay and it unfortunately overlapped with the damn shadow druid fight
Rama
Which was really annoying
A Grinning DM
Gods, Wyll is SUCH a tryhard
CrowsbeforeBros
the Folk Hero background has a ton of inspiration gains
CrowsbeforeBros
I think followed by Scholar and Acolyte
CrowsbeforeBros
so Wyll, Gale, and SH tend to rack up a ton more free xp than the rest of the party
A Grinning DM
It's true, if you're doing a goodly run, Folk Hero probably earns the most inspiration
A Grinning DM
And Wyll's background, The Blade of Frontiers, earns inspiration for all the things that Folk Hero does PLUS some Wyll specific stuff
A Grinning DM
It’s worth noting that when you dismiss someone from the party, when you have then rejoin the party the game sets their xp back at the level of Tav/Durge
A Grinning DM
Which to me makes it kind of silly that inspiration awards individual xp at all, it should be communal xp like literally everything else in the game
A Grinning DM
It’s such a small amount of xp that it doesn’t even matter that much, but still
BWAAAAAH!
so in theory
BWAAAAAH!
you could cause someone to LOSE a level
A Grinning DM
In theory. Though I’ve never tested that
A Grinning DM
I have a feeling that once their leveled they’ll stay at that level and the game will do something wonky on the xp section of the character sheet
A Grinning DM
They’re
CrowsbeforeBros
you can't lose levels if you already leveled them up
EsperBot
I suspect that all this is some sort of weird carryover from the existence of multiplayer
A Grinning DM
Even in multiplayer almost all experience is supposed to be shared though
