[QUOTE="Hammerhead, post: 307829, member: 73"] I don't really think that the overall per level power changes that much. However, some levels tend to have more impact than others. For example, a spell caster gets 4th level spells at 7th, a stat boost at 8th, a feat and 5th level spells at 9th, 6th level spells at 11th, a feat and stat boost at 12th, etc. What happens at level 10? He gets a few more spells per day. There's not really anything special at level 10. There are rather boring levels for most classes. While level 20 does give some benefits, characters can have so many magical boosts that +1 is no big deal, have enough HP that one HD is a drop in the bucket, and have been casting 9th level spells for a while. There usually isn't some super 20th level benefit to make one excited. On the other hand, characters have few enough feats that one more can still mean alot, so 21st level is already looking pretty good. I'd expect big jumps in power everytime PCs achieve a new spell level, or when they can get an important feat. By these standards, levels 19 and 20 aren't so great, but 21st is. [/QUOTE]
