[QUOTE="Junkheap, post: 301147, member: 768"] Like i used in my example before, i really dislike the FRCS method when the levels are not the same. It is really unfair to the higher classes, especially when they are spell casters. I am in one campaign right now and i know this for a fact. I have to cast more spells and worry about a lot more because they are lower level. In the campaign we talked about, we have played all the WOTC adventures and right now we are at the last one(bastion of broken sould). Let me tell you that i pretty much HAVE to cast everything at my disposal to save the partys behind. I should NOT recieve less for it(FRCS), but i should not receive what the DMG gives either. If i was a fighter, i would be going up anyway, but 2 or 3 levels for a fighter at that point in his career does not make a difference. A cleric or a mage without access to 9th lvl spells makes a LOT of difference. I memorize 2 miracles, so that i can pretty much be ready for any situation. The lower level characters benefit because they know i can do this. In my experience, a character that is higher lvl has to play differently and more defensively due to the characters around him. He cant do as much as he should(can't take as much chances and MUST go for the sure shot), and he can't stand by idly and do nothing. KALENDRAF: I really like your method......i will probably use/suggest it next game. [/QUOTE]
