[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 6378982, member: 6688277"] IMO, that counterargument is weak, weak I tell you! :p Some pages ago, I said that 5e seems (since we have not seen the DMG yet) to have missed an opportunity to cater for both camps using this tiers system, but my post got lost in all the verbiage. The solution is simple - follow an E6-like model for PCs at different levels depending on the type of game they wanted, otherwise continue levelling as per normal and advance your Peasant Hero to become a Conan, to become a Hercules. If they wanted to do it now, one way would be to swap out later fighter class features for mythical powers or perhaps mythical power bursts could be governed by HD cost, its not like the current system does not contain options. All is not lost! In the immortal words of Black Adder "Hope springs eternal Baldrick!" [/QUOTE]
