[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8312616, member: 27996"] Each class is different - but that is due to the class. Same with an E6 experience. For me, the current 5e Leveling paradigm of HP bloat is just bland power creep. Yeah, you get to fight not-Balrogs and not-Kaiju, but they are just increased bags of HP to match your increased bag of HP. With powers to match your new powers. And you are hitting it with your best attack the same way you did to that Troll when you were 4th level. No DM fiat need enter into it in a E6 version. Such monsters would need to be fought with big traps, teamwork, guile, and most likely siege weaponry. A very different type of "high level" challenge. Somehow many other games that do not follow D&D's current leveling paradigm seem to give people years of great play in what would be in 5e terms a "single tier of play". I'm sure you do. While others like me feel that it is just bland power creep, there is no denying that there is a subset of players that really like the kind of game that 5e becomes at high levels. [/QUOTE]
