So when you have a character at 305 Power Level, you need to account for the mods, meaning the base Power Level is 300. When a character has a base Power Level of 300, they will receive engrams anywhere from 295 to 300 (300 to 305 with the mods accounted for). For the characters not at 305 Power Level yet, you need to take account for the base Power (usually will be around 298 to 299 depending), and then account for them being "Legendary Engrams", not "Powerful Engrams", thus the engrams will drop around 294/295 until you reach that max base power threshold.
Once you reach the max base power, the engrams are subjected to RNG whether they drop at 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, or rarely 300, however the Powerful Engrams will drop at 300.

Thank you.. yes I know how this all works. I play pretty much every day and I am well used to the RNG. It does explain why I get items dropping at different light levels, but not why one character gets 293 294 or 295 EVERY time. and another character gets 297, 298, 299 or sometimes even 300 EVERY time when each of the characters has the same level of gear equipped and available to it. If, for example, all three characters are using gear that gives them a 304 average light level and they all had RNG drops of 295 - 299 then I would think it was all normal. But that is not happening. I'm not upset by this, just confused.. and perhaps a little disappointed that the lowest level drops are on my prefered character. Not the end of the world though.
