Re: Languages and a question

    I didn't answer the first time because someone else (Didn't keep the
message- sorry) said it all. The experience is for raising a level and the
better that you get at something the harder it is to improve it. The
proficiencies are just a side affect of that.
    Something that you might consider is allowing a PC a proficiency slot
for every X amount of XP.

entirely; namely experience points.
>I was thinking about languages and slots, and how you get only so many
slots at the various levels, when I suddenly wondered why exactly you need
an increasing amount of xp to attain a new level.
>After all, you do not get an increasing number of slot, nor can you do more
with a "high level slot" than with the ones you get at L1.
>Why would it be so much more difficult to learn a new language at L20 than
it is at L1?
>For the spellcasters this can be explained by their getting access to
higher level, and presumably more difficult, spells, but this is not so for
the fighter or the thief; one weapon is as difficult as another (1 slot),
and the thieving skills don't change much either.
>So, can anyone give me a good explanation for the increasing amounts of xp,
other than the wish to make highlevel characters rare?
