[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7069031, member: 6677017"] My problem with the fast-forwarding to level 3 and beyond approach is that so many of what I consider fairly standard D&D challenges become obsolete once you hit 3rd or 4th level. You really need plenty of time at 1st and 2nd level if you want to actually be challenged by stuff. Take an ogre. Fighting a single ogre ought to be a cool dangerous option early in your career. Or a single werewolf, or a single...you get the idea. In 5e, this is only true at 1st level. If you are at 3rd or above you have to give that ogre a buddy, or a handful of orc allies; you have to give that werewolf a pack of wolves; etc. I like playing D&D at all levels, and that includes levels where what makes your characters special is that they actually are brave (and capable) enough to go face that single ogre (a 1st level fighter is slightly superior to a typical guard or soldier), not that they can chew through 4 of them without breaking a sweat.
