I also dislike the fact that lvl 1 character are so similar and am worried about the fact that they bother with scaling defenses or have tied it all to armor class so my lvl 20 warrior is just as likely to get tagged with a status effect from a blow as he was a lvl 1 when not wearing armor. It's early, so I hope they fix that. But that's not what OP's post was about, it was about flat math.The interesting thing is, I'm ok with completely or almost completely flat math. There's a lot of games out there that work with that. Dungeon world or rogue skills from earlier editions. It has the potential to be great. Player bonuses remain essentially static throughout the game, but as they grow in power you adjust PC rolls based on the challenges. You don't even have to do the solo or minion thing. You could simply say, those goblins are weaklings compared to your lvl 12 character, so you have a +3 to hit them and they have a -3 to hit you, or that Balor is an overwhelming foe, you have a -4 on all checks against him. It works for skill checks to. It's some really neat design space, but I think a lot of people would be bothered by it.</blockquote>
