[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5957409, member: 22424"] Well... My opinion on this depends on how well WotC design the game. In 3.0e, although the game had 20 levels in the core, plus Epic levels added after (and 3.5e sort of had Epic in the DMG), the truth was that the game started to struggle at early-teen levels - yes, it could still be played, but it got harder and harder to manage. 4e included 30 levels in the core, but then WotC provided relatively little support for Paragon play, and painfully little for Epic play. The net result of both of these was that the majority of play was in those first ten levels, which meant the support concentrated on those levels, further discouraging higher-level play, and so on. If WotC are going to do the same again (and I'm worried they are), then frankly I'd prefer them to drop the higher levels and spread out that low-level goodness. No point in doing the higher levels if you're just going to make a mess of them. But in an ideal world, I would much rather see WotC do a full level range (whether it's Low/Mid/High or Heroic/Paragon/Epic), and do it [i]well[/i] (and then proceed to support it all, of course). Ideally, I would also like to see easy-to-use rules for jumping in at the start of each tier, and then for remaining in the tier indefinitely - basically, an inbuilt E6-like option for each tier.
