However the point about equal power levels is a fairly recent addition to the game. Back in the day there was a strong expectation that if you died, you came back at first level.
Plus having a stable of pc’s to draw from with varying levels.
Plus hirelings which would be much lower level and henchmen with somewhat lower levels
Plus many, many ways to lose levels in play.
Plus every class having different do tables meaning that the party would rarely be the same level even without the above.
No you can’t really argue that older dnd was set up so the group would all be equal. Far from it.
