Hello. I'm not one of the gurus by any means but my understanding of the xp penalty is this: Half-elf, like human, get one "free" class meaning their highest level class doesn't count against them. Using your triplet plan, the bard class doesn't hurt them. To avoid the penalty, you have to keep the rogue and fighter classes within a level of each other. So, 6/1/1 is OK. 6/2/1 is OK. 6/3/1 would make you take the penalty (because of the 3 and 1). Does that make sense or clear as mud?

Regarding your second question, I'm not sure what you mean. 6/1/1 is different from 6/2/2 because you have two more levels/skills/etc. I don't know what else you're getting at (then again, its late and I should be sleeping).

Hope this helps a little. Wait a little longer and the pros will fully answer your questions. . .
