[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7573693, member: 58197"] Public service announcement: [B]Class tiers[/B] is a way of categorizing classes by how powerful and versatile they are. A "tier 1" class can do pretty much anything, a "tier 5" class is mediocre at its specialty and sucks at everything else. It has nothing to do with level. The concept originated in the 3E community, as a way to describe the extreme lack of class balance in that edition. [B]Level tiers[/B] is a grouping of experience levels into categories, with the idea that new options will open up and the themes and scope of adventures will change from one tier to the next. The concept dates back to the Red Box era, although I think the use of "tier" to describe it comes from 4E. In 5E, "tier 1" encompasses levels 1-4, "tier 2" encompasses 5-10, "tier 3" is 11-16, and "tier 4" is 17-20. This thread is about class tiers, but a lot of people are taking the word to refer to level tiers. [/QUOTE]
