D&D 5E (2014) Milestone levels for D&D Next?

[Silas1510]

So, I'm planning out a campaign (my first), and I want to have some epic battles along the way. 4th edition gives great places to position these, right before advancing a tier. Where's a good place to have those "boss fights" in D&D Next?

Right now, all odd-numbered levels are a big bump. Level 5 is huge, though--Fighters suddenly get 2 attacks at 2[W], Wizards get fireball, etc. I'd say that's a tier barrier. It looks like 10 is another one. So, I'd have big boss fights at 4 and 9.

Awesome. I think this'll be at level 4. I'm putting together a Temple of Four Seasons, that involves the characters facing off sequentially against the seasonal nymphs from MM3 (with puzzles, traps, encounter, etc. in between). I just need to adapt them appropriately.

Just to point this out, Fighters get two attacks at 1[W] or one attack at 2[W]. Multiattack specifically states that you can't use Deadly Strike in combination with it.

Oh. That sounds a lot more reasonable. My Fighter player is going to be disappointed.
