I never liked the 7th/8th-level break.Also, keep in mind that in 1e parties using anything other than roll 3d6 six times, fighters weren't quite so attractive. I'd take a ranger every time. Fighters were the necessary response to the usually not-so-high stat bonuses featured in 1e AD&D; the only survivable class if you had mediocre stats.The really whacked-out class, though, is the druid. There's a great article in Dragon 119 that talks about how much deadlier the druid is than the cleric, and then starts figuring in animal companions. I ran one after reading that just as an experiment in powergaming.</blockquote>
