Maybe a new setting is what I need to enable me to enjoy 3e more.

[QUOTE="mbaskett, post: 325740, member: 6896"] [b]Leveling issue[/b] Maybe you can describe your issue with leveling in more detail. If you are using the CR and XP guidelines as presented, it should take roughly 3-4 sessions to level. That's one year of weekly games to get to 12th level. That doesn't seem so unreasonable to me. My group has been playing 3ED since its release and we have yet to actually get a group to 12th starting from 1st. A number of things have limited the rise: character death or retirement, new campaigns, etc. Now if you're playing more than once a week, then you will obviously level up faster. On the bigger topic, if it doesn't fit your style, then it doesn't fit your style, but my take on 3ED is that it's an inclusive system rather than an exclusive system. The game designers put together a system where dwarven wizards, gnome paladins, elven monks and plain old human fighters all fit together so there's doesn't have to be a question of game balance when someone houseruled "Ok, elves have clerics too" like in 1ED. It is much less a question of game balance if you decide that in your game world there are no dwarven wizards. With the 3ED rules, it has become a simple question of game flavor. [/QUOTE]
