>Because characters of the same "level" are meant to be of approximately the same "power."
That is not true. In legitimate editions of D&D, character of the same *XP* were meant to be approximately the same power. However, less powerful classes gained levels more quickly, so your 60,000 XP party might have a 4th level wizard and paladin, a 5th level fighter, and a 7th level thief.

If was the whiny faggots who ruined things by creating the d20 system who spoiled a perfectly serviceable game mechanic in favor of """streamlining""" without actually comprehending the reasons why the game made the decisions it made.
