My understanding is that the old-school way of slowing down spellcaster progression made a lot of sense. It’s a topic that was explored somewhat in a DM roundtable video on our YouTube channel (which I’ll include below). Wizards were extremely powerful at higher levels, making up for the dangers they survived. Spellcasters like Wizards needed more experience points to level up, so they progressed more slowly. This made them more durable and powerful at low levels. Wizards leveled up slower than Fighters, for example, because they required more experience points.Īs far as I can tell, previous editions made it easier for martial classes to level up and progress at a faster rate.

Having said that, I haven’t delved into the experience points yielded in different editions. This game’s progression requires far fewer experience points than past editions which were in the millions. For reference, I added columns to show the difference in XP between levels and the percentage compared to the previous level. Here is the official D&D 5e experience-point progression.
