When you gain a level your character doesn't grow or develop, he returns to the playdoh powers pump factory to be reborn as a new collection of abilities and powers. There is no continuity or substance because everything has to be perfectly blandly balanced at each and every level. Seeing a character grow and develop in ability is quite different than getting a "power up" We have replaced the powers of this adventurer with folgers crystals. Lets see if he notices.  While this may "work" to balance the powers at a given level its the major factor that makes its so much a boardgame to me.</blockquote>
