They designed the advancement system so that players could hit 20th level in a year of regular play (IIRC, it assumes weekly play).One of the things I like about Eberron, at least as Keith presents it (which isn't necessarily how WotC views it), is that it tweaks the assumptions about D&D while using it.  You won't find clerics healing left and right because clerics are relatively rare (doubly so high level clerics).  If you go to a church you are as likely to find it run by an expert as run by a spellcaster (and the spell caster is likely an adept).  Of course, you can go to a Jorasco house of healilng, but even there you won't often find high level spells, and Raise Deads are incredibly rare.</blockquote>
