I'd say the game as it stands is more like 3e D&D than old school
Fair enough, pen and paper rpg's in general then. I didn't mean to imply its balanced around a specific version of DnD.
Well I think his point is that 3e D&D (at least 3.5) was notorious for having brokenly overpowered mages. Most notably, you could make a level 6 Kobold wizard who was essentially a god (google pun-pun).
Prior and later editions of D&D were more balanced, and most other pen and paper rpgs have more of a balance as well.
