In all honesty, all characters generally get an equal amount of XP should they all participate in the same encounter; however, a lower-level character gets more XP from the same encounter, meaning that he increases the party's total XP (for dropping the average level of the party, especially if half the party is comprised of scions) as well as getting more XP in individual encounters. His greatest benefit, though, is that, while the DMG suggests an amount of wealth per level, he will be more prone to exceed for participating in encounters that will award more treasure/[other rewards]. In effect, he gets fewer XP compared to someone of his level, but he will tend to get an extra couple XPs every now and then, which gets even more dramatic at mid-low levels, when a sudden pump at his XP can actually raise his level. *POOF* Instant chaos.
Furthermore, let us consider the most apparent magic item creators, clerics and wizards: if there is one class that loses the most from a loss of XP, that's someone who makes magic items. In effect, you are further postponing their already slow progress, making them less viable...

It`s been, what, 6 years? I could be misremembering, but I`m pretty sure.

Not that it has a built-in way of handling bloodlines. 3e has a
built-in way to handle characters which are inherently more powerful
than others, and balance them with baseline characters.

I'm going to close this thread for the following reasons.
1. It has strayed way off topic of what the OP had posted.
2. It has gotten extremely long in so doing.
If people want to continue this discusssion then start another post and try to keep it more specific.Duane Eggert
