The claim IS true, but you're right that it's opaque. The designers have talked about it quite often, that that is the intent, but they...

I would argue that that is because they don't do it properly. For example, if "higher level" is harder to sell, then WHY do they want...

It was the fist 1-20 campaign and D&zD had 20 levels since 1989. And people had been asking for it since around 1998 in Dungeon...

I think that there is a qualitative difference between the Paizo APs & the wotc HC adventures. The biggest and most important...
