Basic D&D
Cleric:  Woot!  I’m level 3 already.  Rolls d6 and copies in new attack and save numbers.
Magic User: Finally level 2.  Now I can cast sleep twice a day!  Rolls d4 and curses the dice.
Fighter/Dwarf: Level 2 , cool.  Better attacks and more HP. Rolls d8.
Halfling:  What, only a stupid d6 for HP?  What kind of a fighter is this?  You guys told me a Halfling was good.  You bastards!
Thief:  Level 3, cool.  You know it does get kind of tedious re-copying these skill charts every level.  Anybody else have to do this?
Elf:  Leveling up?  I think I need another 1000 xp for level 2.  Don’t worry though, I’ll catch up with you guys.

1st/2nd edition AD&D
Human characters:  Wootz, levels.  I love levels.  Roll HP and copy down new saves and attack values.  Make a note of special ability.  Oh wait, I have to re-figure my THAC0, hey DM can you do this for me?
Multiclass demi-humans:  We’ll catch up with you in another 2000XP, but thanks for the thought.

3.x edition
Aha!  All proceeds by my master plan. But wait, somebody released a new splat book.  Whoah that prestige class looks cool.  Okay, I can still get it I just have to re-think my feat progression a little.  If I take a level of sorc I can get there, but bard will give me bardic knowledge.  Wait?  All that for one lousy ability?  Oh why didn’t I just start with levels of fighter.  Rolls HP, grumbles and places skill points carefully.

4th edition.
Wohoo a new utility power!  What no rolling HP, I want to use my dice.  Dammit I didn’t fork out $20.00 on these new custom dice for nothing.  Let me roll my freakin dice already!  What?  I have to recalculate every number on my character sheet?  Oh man this is going to take a few minutes.
