I happened to be a part of this conversation (well...a lurker anyway)on the Black Isle Boards with some of the Bioware designers last month. Here's the skinny...

Your XPs will be set back down to where they should be for the start of ToB, but you won't lose any levels. For instance, if you are a 26th level mage with 2M XPs, and the XP starting value for ToB is 1.5MXPs...then your XPs will be set down to 1.5M, but you will remain 26th level.

So...you will just be 26th level for a *long*, *long*, *long* time. Until you can build back up to 2.5M XPs...or whatever you need for 27th level.

Somehow, they seem to have somewhat disassociated XPs with levels for the start of the game. At least, this is what the designers were planning on doing last month.

Capish?

Now where did I leave that doughnut?!
