A good DM can maintain balance and make the game fun for everyone, of course, but I'd rather he or she put all their focus into preparing and running great adventures, and not have to take into account widely disparate power levels of PCs that are at or around the same level. It seems as though a core piece of 3E's design philosophy was cutting down on the DM's workload. With more balanced classes and the same experience requirements for all classes, I feel the new version has succeeded in that regard. Whether or not 3E has simplified the game across the board is another matter (many feel that 3E is more complicated than ever, and in some ways, I'm inclined to agree).</blockquote>
