The tricky question is how you should merge the two systems when a character goes back and forth between these situations.
Very tricky indeed. I think this should be revised so that basic Melee and Wizard use the same XP costs as the new ITL (I like what was proposed here: http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...&postcount=135)

However, basic Melee and Wizard can have different rules for granting XP...and at different rates.
