I think cutting XP in half for Tactician makes a lot of sense (or maybe to 60%). It's easy to implement and you could still come close to max Level by the end of the game. I like the difficulty in Act 1 and I'm still waiting for Custom parties before continuing to play, so I'm mostly going on the observations of others. Based on what I've read, I am sure I will be 12th Level around the start of Act 3 (because I'm a completionist) and I don't like that I will be max level so early.
