Message: <blockquote data-quote="Flynn" data-source="post: 3736987" data-attributes="member: 1836">Good Afternoon, All:I do not know if this question has been posed or answered as yet, but I thought I would bring it up out of a personal curiosity. It may be that this topic hasn't even been settled by the rules, in the state of flux that they are currently in, so it may be too early to tell. However, I hope we at least get some WOTC opinion(s) on the matter.In regards to how quickly the characters advance in level, the rate of advancement in 3E/v3.5 was based on market research, which resulted in a system that assumes that a character will advance after 13.33 encounters. Some people have posted that they believe the rate of advancement is too quick at higher levels. I know that WOTC has listened to some of the complaints people have had in regards to other 3E/v3.5 issues, and I'm curious as to whether the rate of advancement was one of those issues.Will the rate of advancement remain the same as in 3E/v3.5? Or will it change, and if so, how? Also, will all classes use the same XP chart, per 3E/v3.5, or will each class have a different XP chart, per 1st and 2nd Editions?It is my personal hope that the rate of advancement changes. My desire would be to see something that takes perhaps three sessions to advance from 1st to 2nd level, and then each additional level advancement increases the number of sessions required by half a session. So it takes 3.5 sessions to get from 2nd to 3rd, 4 sessions to get from 3rd to 4th, etc., ad nauseum, until you need 17 sessions to advance from 29th to 30th.I personally don't want a meteoric rise to higher levels, nor do I really want a linear progression in terms of sessions to get there. I definitely hope that feedback on the advancement rate will be taken into consideration, and I look forward to finding out what we can on this matter.With Regards,Flynn</blockquote>
