That degree varies from group to group but there is a degree for every group where some type of balance matters. An extreme example is a killer dm that doesn't balance encounters at all and each encounter is enough to kill the party three times over. Unless you find that fun as a player there is a degree of balance needed however small it maybe.   But thats just how I see it and what I see as factors that need balance others may not include in their definition of balance. Me myself I like enougth balance that I can have a character concept that involves a fairly standerd character for the class and still be able to participate meaningfully.    Being able to participate meaningfully of course varies from campaign to campaign so a lot of the balance is in the dms hand if he has a non standerd campaign (politcal intrige, a world of floating islands, etc).   The other part of balance that I like is that no one class and such no one character can do everything well. If a character can do everything he may be a jack of alll trades but if he can do everything well why does he need a party.  edit: An important thing I forget to say. Balance should never get to the point where everyone can do everything equally well. When Balance goes to the level where it takes away diversity it is to much.</blockquote>
