[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3930964, member: 710"] I think they tried to manage keeping everything within a d20 distance by granting an unspecified 1/2 level bonus to most checks and rolls (attack, skills) and defenses (AC, Reflex, Fortitude, Will). Incidently, at level 10, this bonus would be +5, and at level 20, it would be +10, so you might have your modifiers their. It also appears as there will be Destinies or Paragon Paths becoming available at the second and third tier. If these are in addition to the regular abilities, this will be a subtle, but still noticeable change in rules. Furthermore, it seems as if spells are redistributed to fit into the different tiers - long range teleportation, plane-hopping, and maybe also scrying and raising the dead will move up, so that each tier has a certain set of adventure elements that work best in it. (Overland Travel for heroic characters, but once long-range Teleport becomes available in the Paragon Tier, it won't work as well) I think these tiny elements as whole will serve to enforce the distinction. It won't be about numerical bonuses, since these are taken care of by limiting the amount of "extra bonuses" you can get to a skill and granting a general, level-based bonus to everything. [/QUOTE]
