[QUOTE="WhatGravitas, post: 4028942, member: 33132"] Perhaps because lower-level game play is fairly "generic" fantasy. Higher-level games are much more D&D-esque, hence revealing monsters in the MM (most higher level monsters are D&D's own creation - beholders, mind flayers, demons and so on), showing Paragon Paths (i.e. PrCs), which are only making sense with more information how they world. Furthermore, the designers often produced higher-level material that was less good in the past. Perhaps the designers are focusing on the lower-level stuff, where they are more "experienced" and leave the epic complexities to the RPGA optimizers, as these guys always outwitted the R&D team - except for mearls, perhaps, as he's pretty much a gearhead as well. Furthermore, the low level tier was traditionally the most played one - it's simply something that appeals the most to the user base, hence they write about it. Cheers, LT. [/QUOTE]
