Actually, if I remember correctly, you can replace the XP chart from the
PHB. You just can't say what it is. You have to do something like:
Chart 1-1 replaces chart 3-2 (or whatever it is) in the PHB.

The following is a message that appeared on the newsgroups in April of 2000
(Yes, I still have a bunch of the original newsgroup messages)... it sort of
applies (besides, everyone wants to see how clueless I was a year ago)
My recollection was faulty.... looking at the message it appears Ryan only
commented on applying benefits to character based on xp, not on giving the
characters xp....
I'm still curious about what he thinks about this new issue.

Nope. You can't talk about the effects of applying experience to
characters.

Yup. It would violate the license.

I could have sworn that when I asked Ryan, he told me that alternate rules
about awarding XP were bad... (ie you could tell people that at 6000xp they
level, but you couldn't tell them how to get 6000xp).
So, I would probably hold off until we get clarification.
