[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9193338, member: 7030563"] I think high level combat is fundamentally different than low level combat, but I don't think the other pillars are much different. Skill checks are easier if you have a good Rogue or a Bard but other than combat the play is not fundamentally different IMO. Combat is different because your strengths are stronger, your weaknesses are weaker and things that you were ok at are now weaknesses. In combat play you really need to work to mitigate your weaknesses. For example your fighter with a 16 Wisdom is great at Wisdom saves in tier 1, still ok in teir 2, but at high level they are rarely going to succeed, even with indominable. Where classes and subclasses rank in combat power also swings at high level. Wizards, Bards and Sorcerers open a pretty large gap with all other classes, with Bards going from a weak spellcaster to probably the second strongest. In tier 2 all Monks are pretty weak, but at very high level the best Monk subclasses become some of the strongest non-casters. Rangers also become the strongest half-casters at high level, opening up a pretty large gap between them and Paladin. [/QUOTE]
