    The Level 50 experience cap remover is intriguing, but what does it do? It purports to make XP vs level advances conform to D&D standards. Since I have not played D&D in 21 years I can't remember levels vs experience. So, does it take more or less XP to make a new level? And what are the player class abilities it claims to enable?

    After a search of these boards my questions appear to be unanswered. There is a comment somewhere that indicates that this mod might not work at all. Would someone who knows please post an answer to my questions?

    I understand that the level XP goals escalate. Some clarification is in order. First of all, here is the patch description from the download section.

    "This patch does several things. First it disables the experience cap allowing you to reach the higher levels. Second it modifies the class tables to match the standard AD&D rules for all classes up through level 50. A warrior for example will now gain all warrior advantages. The special abilities have also been modified to allow for the kits to get all of their level based perks"

    My questions:
    Does it take more XP to get to, let's say....level 30, for a mage under a standard ToB installation than it does with this patch installed?

    Has anyone whipped out a comparison of the Level vs XP tables (ToB vs modded)that they could post?

    What is inferred by the "A warrior for example will now gain all warrior advantages" comment?

    And what abilities are meant here? : "The special abilities have also been modified to allow for the kits to get all of their level based perks"

    I surmise that ToB and SoA limited class abilities and modified the advance tables from D&D standards and that this mod restores them. True or not and what are the details? There is no explnantory readme with the file.
