[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8630209, member: 67338"] what you call a treadmill I prefer to have levels matter... for heroic (1-10 in 4e) you had +0-+5 a 9th level PC and a 2nd level PC could hit similar ACs and have similar ACs BUT not the same something is EASIER at 9th then it is at 2nd, the same idea at level 14 (into pargaon) now you are at +7 higher then you would be at 1st leve... making you 35% more likely to get it, and at level 29 or 30 you are at +15... you are every other level unlocking 5% more skill/ease. just reighn in the HPs except why is a 1st level character fighting a goblin with 15 AC not better at level 11 when they fight that goblin with a 15 AC? in 5e a 15 AC goblin is a 15 AC goblin and that +4 to hit against your AC 16 is a 12 or better to hit at level 12 your prof went from 2 to 4 so you have +2 more to hit but no bonus to AC... so you hit 10% more often but get hit the same amount. in 4e a 15 AC goblin is a 15 AC goblin +4 to hi against your AC 16 at level 1 is not hitting anywhere near as well at level 12 when you have a 22AC (You have learned over 12 levels to avoid little goblins) and your bonus to hit went up 6 as well so you are 30% more likely to hit him [/QUOTE]
