Incorrect experience calculation

[sauljaffe]

I was trying to figure out an encounter for my players, and calculate experience for it. I set up 4 players at 4th level, and 2 players at 2 level so a total of 6 characters. On the monster side I had 3 wights and 1 wraith for a total of 3900 experience points. However, your system showed that as 780xp per player. But, 3900 divided by 6 is 650xp per player. The DMG says: "When adventurers defeat one or more monsters-typically by killing, routing, or capturing them-they divide the total XP value of the monsters evenly among themselves." (Emphasis mine). So, either your system is taking something into account that's not in the 5e rules as I know them, or is miscalculating the xp per player.

It's working for me. 780 is the correct xp for 5 players. Maybe there is a visual glitch missing a player? Does it show the same incorrect xp if you open a new tab and try again?

6 players. 3900/6 = 650.

It's showing 650 for me.
