[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5309740, member: 75712"] I don't think "sweet spot" is really a judgement on the game, it's just the term for that point in the level advancement when all the classes are fairly well-balanced against each other. In my understanding, it's not explicitly designed into 3e; rather, it's something that emerges from the design, and happens to occur around 6th level or so by most estimates. Some feel that in an "ideal" game, the "sweet spot" should encompass all levels-- and this is exactly one of the things that 4e attempts to address. Agreed. And this is why standard D&D 3e isn't especially good for modeling real-world-style peasants and bakers and merchants beyond the first few levels. I hope no one's grandmother here speaks French. ;) [/QUOTE]
