2nd ed progression is not spure exponential, in fact at higher levels it gets LINEAR.
3rd ed progression is QUADRATIC, which is quite steep...
And I find the "less XP as you level up" the most moronic rule in 3rd ed.
That is already taken care of by the fact that as you become of higher level you need more xp to level up. Yes it is true that a 20th level character shouldn't learn as much from killing a goblin as a 1st level character, but that's why a 20th level character needs 20 times more xp to level up... Having him require more xp to level up
and giving him less xp is just plain stupid.
By the way, this very much discourages soloing. The advantage of not having to split xp 6-ways completely disappears when you get 10 times less xp...
