I ran it yesterday and everybody loved it. 2 of my players are new to DnD and they had a blast with the goblinoids and their numerous pets :-)
Nicolae Paun
I think it's to be fair and enticing for all classes, since for example most of the spellcasters just get higher spell slot levels, which are cool, sure, but class features are even cooler.
DM Dave
Hey, good question. It's based on the rate of growth curve of the game, particularly DPS and relative defensive capabilities. There's a huge difference between levels 1, 2, and 3, but not as big a difference between 7, 8, or 9. It gets even smaller as you go higher in levels.

Wondering why Dave does levels 1/3/5/8 rather than 1/3/5/7. Not a criticism, just a question.
