Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 5910986" data-attributes="member: 52734">There is somewhat of a point in this.  If we were trying to make the equivilant of, say a Pinto (Thief or Fighter) and a Porche (Cleric or Wizard) cost the same (akin to needing the same XP to advance), they'd have to be comparible in performance.  And you're going to have outcry from the side who needs economy (and the price has been raised due to "extras") vs. the sporty who hate the downgrades (loss of some of the "prestige" factors).  In the end, you may end up with something nobody wants.While I think it would be beneficial to bring both ends a bit towards the middle, I don't like the homizination that seemed to bring in 4E (as if everyone is a stock car). There may be something to be said for leaving different classes having different costs (not neccesarily different XP, but some form of a "<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> for a tat") built in so that they can work at different power levels without being the one everyone grabs for.After all, no matter how suped up a Pinto is, it isn't going to beat a porche in the 1/4 mile.  And making a rule "no sports cars can participate in this drag race" is just going to tick off a bunch of folks.  We'd be better off if the Pinto were replaced with a Camry (that could be tweaked), and we didn't limit ourselves to 1/4 mile drag races (How well is your porche going to do in a cross-county road trip? Or a demolition derby?)</blockquote>
