[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7815365, member: 83242"] I think it is a probably a good idea to have a different default than 5e, but I must say it is one of my favorite aspect of 5e. I much prefer BA to the massive increases in ability you see in 3e/PF1/4e and now PF2e. That being said, I don't think it will matter much to a player. I hope to give it a try soon and find out. So the GG will allow one to extract level from the narrative then? That could be good, I'm just not convinced embedding level into the narrative is a good thing. 4e embedded level as well, but it also provided a method to adjust this (with solos, elites, standards, minions, and swarms) from the get go that allowed more flexibility. Without that flexibility I think 5 levels is to short of a period of relevance. Maybe I will feel different when I play a game, but it definitely bothers me as a DM from a world building / game narrative perspective. [/QUOTE]
