Today''s topic: Stat Inflation Back when I played D&D, it took about 2 days to get a new character to level 3 or 4. A +1 longsword was a really nice magic item, and a Wand of (anything) was AWESOME to find. Along the way, it would be nice if I found a gold piece or two. Now, playing most RPGs (EQ, Diablo, Ultima, etc) it takes about 2 hours to get to level 20. A +5 longsword (+10 to STR, +15 to AGI) is a joke--forget a +1 sword---and a Wand of Death isn''t worth the time it takes to click on it. And you have so much gold, you don''t even loot the mobs. Discuss.

If you want to talk about stat-inflation in terms of D&D, then you ought to think of how they''re handled in Baldur''s Gate, Planescape Torment, and other D&D based games. Otherwise it''s apples and oranges, totally different game systems, so comparing numbers really doesn''t mean anything.
