About these numbers: XP values follow Paizo Core Table 12-3 by Challenge Rating. Templates and class levels shift CR and stay out. Second edition uses a different XP curve and stays out with only first edition rowed.

About this converter

Bestiary XP runs 100 to 9600 by CR. Kobold quarter at 100, Goblin and Orc third at 135, Hobgoblin half at 200, Gnoll 1 at 400, Bugbear 2 at 600, Ogre 3 at 800, Owlbear 4 at 1200, Troll 5 at 1600, Young White 6 at 2400, Young Black 7 at 3200, Ogre Mage 8 at 4800, Adult White 10 at 9600. That makes Adult White ninety six Kobolds. CR fractions pay fractions: quarter 100, third 135, half 200. Every figure here is the Table 12-3 award with CR pinned.

How to use it

Pick two monsters and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first, one the matching count of the second, one the total in XP. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Adult White against Kobolds.

Splits stay out: story awards and haunts grant XP without a monster and lack rows. Templates like advanced and giant shift CR up the table, so base forms are rowed. Second edition 1000 point curve belongs to another scope and stays out. Adult White 9600 against Kobold 100 shows ninety six to one. Young White 2400 doubles Owlbear 1200.
