Ranks and Experience

One of the things about Savage Worlds that never made complete sense to me is the Experience Points to Rank table. It's based on 5 point increments (which makes sense) and gives a Ranking based on how many XP a character has accumulated. But the Ranks go every 20 points from zero to eighty. I've often wondered why 80 was the magic number? Especially since percentiles are based on 100. And the Level-Ups are based on 5's. Also, being a former d20 player (mostly D&D and a LotR homebrew) changing the Rankings to 100 xp matches up nicely with the "levels" in 3rd Edition. Every D&D level equals 10 xp in Savage worlds. So a level 10 Fighter for example would be a 100 xp Legend in Savage Worlds using my modified Rank Table.

So I've changed the Rank Table for my campaigns. Here it is:

Experience Points	Savage Rank	D&D 3.0 Level
0-24	Novice	1-2
25-49	Seasoned	3-4
50-74	Veteran	5-7
75-99	Heroic	8-9
100+	Legendary	10

It gives an additional Level-Up per rank and takes an additional 20 XP to gain the Legend Rank. Nothing earth shaking or ground breaking but just a change we use in all our campaigns.
