[QUOTE="heylel, post: 7016296, member: 3021"] I do see your point, and it may yet work in other circumstances, but that was the path rejected at my (virtual) table. Some issues my particular group has with the Boons: - The actual PC classes gain nothing more. A 40th level Rogue would have the same [B]Rogue features[/B] as a 30th level Rogue, and as a 20th level Rogue. It is like a muticlass Rogue 20 / Boon 20, a separate class ([I]Boon'ed[/I]:)) that everyone must multiclass into after 20th level. There is a significant effort to make classes distinct from 1st to 20th, and then everyone gets to be the same. - The progression (1 ability per N amount of XP) does not sound, to us, like D&D. - XP progression is flat 30k per Boon, and rewards get increasingly higher by CR. Which, at really high levels, seems to cause the PCs to accumulate Boons and 'levels' really fast. - Boon 'levels' do not seem to match well against a equivalent monster CR. [/QUOTE]
