[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6004317, member: 22779"] On being able to play with PC's of differing levels. I realize that in 3e this would be very, very difficult to do. AC and saves scale so quickly that a two or three level disparity between PC's would make a very large difference. The lower level character would get whacked pretty much instantly. But in 4e? Really? The only difference between 5 levels of monsters is what, HP and 2 points of defense? Oh, and +5 on their attacks and +2 damage. There is absolutely no reason a 15th level PC and an 11th level PC can't operate in the same theater in 4e. The monsters don't scale so sharply. The DC's are rocketing up every bump in CR like they do in 3e. I'm not seeing how a spread level party in 4e would actually be difficult. It shouldn't be. 4e's math is way too flat for it to be a real issue. [/QUOTE]
