If the progression is flatter then a few tweaks can shift the balance. A Str 18 cleric could have a better attack than a STR 14 fighter thoroughout the lives of both characters. Then the designers would have to put a balancing factor in somewhere. And it would have to be a good one since 5E would use niche protecting roles. I thought of another Con that comes in if flat progression also applies to skills as well. If skills are flat too, then higher level characters never get better and never increase their chances at harder DCs</blockquote>
