I apologize if I missed that citation - but could you tell us where the “game as a whole” assumes that?
Page 9 of the DMG where it says that the core assumption is that casters are relatively few in number. Then follow my post above about how most of those relatively few caster can't cast fireball, etc.

You are interpreting "relatively few in number" to mean a thing that makes you right. Congratulations. You are right.

I'm interpreting it to be what it says and not ignoring meanings to fit what I want like you are. Just admit that you are making your world more magical than the base assumption. It's really okay. There's nothing wrong with changing things. I do it all the time.

Dude has a problem admitting he's wrong and calling anyone that doesn't DM like him an idiot DM. I wouldn't waste my time.

Haven't read the thread, but I prefer to always start characters at 1st, but have quicker advancement in early levels. Maybe they reach level 2 after the first session.

My rule of thumb is that the number of sessions it takes to pass a level is equal to that level, until you get to 5th, and then five sessions per level from there on out. So:

2nd level: 2 sessions
3rd level: 3 sessions
4th level: 4 sessions
5th level and on: 5 sessions
