[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7844364, member: 996"] Yep. "Treadmill" just says that challenges modeled on the d20 are relative. For any given bonus you may ascend to, there's a correspondingly higher DC that's the same challenge (chance of success/failure) as when you started. It's really more about the consistency of scaling than the magnitude. Well, fighting, in the broadest sense - erasing with AE spells if they actually get to be annoying or mass in really large numbers, for instance. Which gets into the more rapid scaling we do see under BA: hp/damage. It's not just that you hit the goblin more often (and attack two per round instead of one), it's that, when you do hit, they die; it's not just that goblins fail their DEX save vs your AE spell more often, it's that the half damage kills them, anyway (and the higher level spell likely has a larger area, too).
