[QUOTE="El Ravager, post: 1455814, member: 738"] [b]On Levels vs. generations/advancement[/b] I do not think that critics of d20 who cite levels as a problem so much with the indicator of power so much as they really dislike 'pre-packaged' advancement. They don't like the 'sudden advancement' of different skills at the same time. To be sure that other games have indicators of 'level' of power, such as generation in V:tM, but it isn't anywhere as concrete as d20 nor is it as correlated with this periodic jump in unassociated power as d20 is. To me, the leveling in d20 is not a problem and is pretty abstract for the most part. The life of an the character in game would probably not notice it very much. Would a fighter with BAB 12 be that much different than one with BAB 13? Would anyone be able to notice? To me, the progress the character makes is gradual and it cumlinates at the point that you actually change the numbers on the sheet. Some people dislike this abstract method, or refuse to try and see it that way. d20 is not for everyone, but I like it. [/QUOTE]
