[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3845734, member: 18280"] 1e (for example, and IME) was designed to easily allow 1st level replacement characters to be used with even mid-to-high level parties (6th to 14th). And, again IME, while such characters didn't throw the system out of whack, the differences in level were certainly noticeable by the players. So, no. The point at which players feel the loss of levels, and the degree to which a system can handle them, do not equate. (Well, except possibly in 3e, where, from what I understand, some people have a problem in both regards with a difference of even 1 level.) RC [/QUOTE]
