[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5298290, member: 158"] 4E has a sweet spot: levels 1 through 30. :D More seriously, I think they did a good job with spreading out the number range they wanted from bottom to top. For characters and monsters of similar level, you don't want bonuses to your die rolls for attack and skills much more than the max number that the die can roll, or else the disparity is so bad that some characters can be effective and a character of the same level is absolutely useless. It's why 4e wizards and barbarians don't differ by hundreds of hit points like they would in 3e, and why a wizard's to-hit with his spells will be in the ballpark of a barbarian's to-hit with his weapons. I also think that delaying the physics-bending spells like fly and teleport work better for paragon than heroic. Hell, if they would have delayed Resurrection and cure aflliction till paragon, I wouldn't have batted an eye. [/QUOTE]
