This is the reason I have heard (and is probably just as valid as 'An Immortal's reason): Some races or classes are more widespread, or more common, than others. Humans, being found in almost every corner of Thera, are the most common, and therefore have no XP penalty. Elves, on the other hand, aren't as wide spread, and have a high XP penalty. Likewise, warriors are meant to be more common than rangers. The XP penalty is meant to be a sort of 'deterrent,' trying to guide the distribution of races and classes in the game. It is not a perfect solution, but it is about the best one the Imms can come up with to solve the problem. -Montolio PS-The truth of the matter is probably not this view alone, but a combination of different reasons.
