Thread: how is your level figured?
According to the SWG Total Experience Guide from Prima, which includes the CU, your CL is more determined, not so much by what skills you have (althought that does play a factor) but also by the number of actual combat experience points you have accumulated.
It says:
"How isCL calculated? Basically any xp that you spend to improve a combat profession are also counted toward your CL. When you spend 1000 XP to reach Brawler: Unarmed I, that same 1000 XP is counted toward your CL. If that's the first profession step you take, it raises your CL from 1 to 2 (with 500 CL XP) and gets you halfway to CL 3 (which takes another 1000 CL XP)."
"There are a few exceptions. It takes a lot more work to earn experience toward professional advancement in a few combat professions, so the XP you spend in those prefoessions counts double, or even more, toward your CL."
I won't give the whole list, but basically it breaks down like this:
BH (Investigation) XP X35
General Combat XP (lots of professions) X3
Scout XP (but not from trapping) X2
Specific Combat XP (TK, Pistols, Carbines, Brawler, etc.) X1
Any Medic type XP, CH, Scout Trapping X1
All other professions X0!!!! (Aww, not entertainer multiplyer!)
On page 138 - 139 is a Combat Level Chart.
The CL XP is the number of XP you need to advance, while the Total CL XP is the accumulated total over the life of your toon. Extra HP should be self-explanatory, or you need to be in another profession.
How accurate this is, I don't know.But it says the following, in part (don't want to violate any copyrights, eh?)
CL CL XP Total CL XP Extra HP
7510,989,650 294,904,242 1760
76 11,238,650 306,142,892 1800
77 11,438,650 317,587,542 1840
78 11,638,650 329,220,192 1880
79 11,838,650 341,058,842 1920
80 12,058,650 353,097,492 1960
81 12,238,650 365,336,142 2000
I beseech the forum mods in the hope that I have not overstepped any bounds. I did not print anywhere near complete lists, I provided the source, and told everyone where to go to find it for themselves.

Well, yeah, they are off on some of their stats.
It includes the CU and was published concurrent with the software release, so I imagine some of the stuff changed between printing and software release.
Who knows, maybe there originally was a CL81?
But, it gives a rough guideline anyway.
