Just because monster manuals are full of a variety of monsters doesn't mean that all of them are on every single world.Because of the OtherWorlds Creations metasetting Forbidden Kingdoms, I think paladins should be a prestige class, and I've read that the sort of were in OD&D. In 2nd edition, different classes had different XP progressions, 1st and 2nd level wizards were pretty much useless magically (one spell a day after graduation? Something is wrong with that academy's program) and almost as useless in combat, I've had a friend say that a 2E starting party should be 1st level for everyone except the wizard, who should be 3rd level.I was once very vehemently on the "magic and psionics are different" side. This began to change when Alternity called all powers "FX" (maybe they excluded psionics, I don't feel like checking right now), and when the magic system of World Tree showed that magic is arcane, divine, and psionic all at once I began to think of something similar to "power sources" but nothing as silly as "martial power source". No, more "you're all doing the same thing, where the power comes from is the only difference: arcane (wizard) - study, divine (gods, concepts), psionics (mind), and arcane (sorcerer) - 'living magic' for lack of a better word".There are some conveniences I can accept: all worlds use the same Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum coins. Some I cannot: They all have exactly the same exchange rate.Anyway, yes, most characters your party meets will either be non-classed, have an NPC class, some will have a few levels PC classes, and a select few will be near the party's level, and 1-2 20th level characters . . . maybe.</blockquote>
