The problem with Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards is that it's wrong: a level 20 Warrior can slaughter 20 level 1 Warriors without breaking a sweat. The balance WotC declared that it was going for is exponential, which is what we call High balance, I believe. --Foxwarrior (talk) 01:42, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Not really. The multiplier could be 5, 10, or even 100, but it's still level * multiplier, where a wizard progresses at 2 ^ level.
In short, linear does not mean to add +1 per level. Just that it's on a linear graph and is in a straight line--regardless of how steep it is. --Ghostwheel (talk) 01:48, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
