[QUOTE="Kinak, post: 6117146, member: 6694112"] Bringing back different XP tables is interesting. It's not the route I'd go, but it should work. In practice, they're close enough that your players' choices will matter a lot. In my current (10th-level) game, the bard is the out-of-combat specialist and the cleric is pure support. So the fighter and ranger really carry the group in combat and feel, if anything, overpowered. I do have two house rules in play that help them out some: max hit points at every level (rather than rolled) and not rolling to confirm crits (all crits just auto-confirm). The latter probably helps them more than the former, increasing their damage output noticeably and giving them the occasional "oops, I just won the battle" that casters get. This is my experience as well. Martial characters got a huge boost and casters got a slight boost. I still won't say they're [I]balanced[/I], but it's a lot better than 3.x up at least into the mid levels. Cheers! Kinak [/QUOTE]
