[QUOTE="aco175, post: 5591448, member: 27385"] the 2 campaigns we have going right now have parties if lev16 and lev10, 16 being the highest we have gotten so far. Half the players thik Paragon is cooler than Heroic, these being the power gamers. the other half like levels5-10 better. I think some of this is that the pc's can still be local heroes and the monsters are still the same ones you grew up with, orcs and goblins, ogres and such. From the DM perspective, I like the transition between the two tiers. I have been trying to make something cool happen for each party story related. The first party rescued the Dukes son from the yuan-yi using the underground portal to sneak into the city. This led to them discovering the Duchy on the other side of the mountain was in revolt with the death knights ruling them. I'm trying to have a great battle with the final death knight or the general lich overlord be the transition to epic tier. the other party is right on the verge to paragon and they are trying to get the missing king's sword reforged in time to make it to the great battle mentioned above. They are in the ruined temple of Ioun and need to find the pool of creation to mend it. Funny, nobody mentioned a Mend spell. [/QUOTE]
