[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5098765, member: 58197"] Mmm... well, I do feel that 4E's "30-level sweet spot" is sweeter in some places than others, but that's really beside the point. Even if the system worked perfectly at all levels, I'd still be interested in this. The main reason I want to try E10 instead of fixing my problems with the higher levels is the realization that I simply [I]don't want[/I] the PCs' power level to keep climbing beyond a certain point. That has nothing to do with the mechanical "sweet spot" and everything to do with the style of campaign I like to run. In what sense? Granted, they don't provide the kind of raw power that 3E feets sometimes did, but raw power isn't the goal here. And this would be a nice opportunity for players to pick up the "sub-optimal" feats (Linguist, Jack of All Trades, a lot of the Channel Divinity feats) that are normally scorned in favor of more reliably useful ones. True, but the power curve is shallower. In terms of monster power, a 4-level difference in 4E is roughly equivalent to a 2-CR difference in 3E. [/QUOTE]
