[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8517639, member: 7032025"] Exactly, this is why this view of "tiering" the game in terms of "training wheels" is absurd. The tiers in the DMG are just advice to the DM as to how a typical campaign might run, so that he sees potential connections between the abilities of the players and the influence that they can have on the world. But they are only guidelines which are actually not implemented in particular in published setting and adventures. At each and every level it's up to the DM to provide appropriate situations and potentially challenges. If the character get a significant boost in power (which can happen at any level, for example through a powerful magic item), then the situations will be tailored to correspond. And back to the OP, it's not only the "training wheel" which causes problems, it's the "The game doesn't even start until 5th level" which is annoying and derogatory. [/QUOTE]
