In 1e days, from my experience, a character drawn up at 1st level almost never made it to 9th or 18th. Before you'd ever have a character lucky enough to survive to high levels, you left a trail of dead PCs behind you. Since 3x, and depth of character creation, expansion, the game is less deadly and has more become a game most PCs surviving to whatever level the campaign goes.Is one better than the other? They are certainly different. I can say, I had fun playing every edition I've ever played, and though there are similarities to the editions - it's really a different game than what it started from.</blockquote>
