[QUOTE="tlantl, post: 5939067, member: 55225"] This right here is my biggest problem with any game using levels for advancement. At some point you stop being reasonably normal with a focused skill set to being an unstoppable force that has the capability to run rough shod over the rest of the world. This causes no end of grief for me and other DMs I know. If the world stays relevant longer then I don't have to fight the inner war of allowing the game to progress beyond a certain level or starting anew. 3e was so stupid this way that I never had a group go beyond 8th level and eventually stopped playing it. There were a lot of things about 3e that you didn't really see until you played for a while that really irritated me, the assumption that the only complete character was the 20th level character being one of them. I could really care less if the character gets more than a slight increase in power in those twenty or thirty levels, I'd prefer if they didn't. From the look of this game from it's play test it's not going to be any better than the others, only different. I mean wizards getting +6 attack bonuses at first level and the double digit starting HP are pretty good indicators that this is going to be another "modern suck game". [/QUOTE]
