I would love to see the two dice side-by-side, with the affecting dice highlighted somehow. Green for advantage and red for disadvantage? And the dismissed roll darkened?
Regarding the leveling speed, I was actually surprised by the speed at which my party levels up! I think something like 75-80 % of this speed would make it feel like more of an accomplishment. I didn't even have the chance to try out most of my new spells or abilities before gaining new ones!
