The three things that you get with level are Hit Points, class features, and proficiency bonus; but the proficiency bonus only goes up with 20% of the levels.If you only split levels 5/9/13/17 into three increments, then it would feel like you're progressing more slowly for those levels, no matter that the whole thing is just ad hoc anyway. It would probably be better to just switch it between HP/proficiency bonus as one linked benefit, with class features as the alternate benefit. That way, you'd always be gaining something with each advancement, even though some advancements would give more than others.</blockquote>
