It works really well and ensures they can be used in the Heroic Tier.If I was going to run 3.5E or Pathfinder - or even earlier editions - I would be doing the same. It's easier to DM, easier to play and the rules don't break down as quickly as they do at higher levels - and that is an edition-free comment.As part of this, I expect the PCs to hold some sort of leadership position appropriate to their class by the end of the Heroic Tier, similar to 1E's concept of name level.</blockquote>
