[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 4974323, member: 67338"] You know I have been thinking about this alot too. Now in general I have faith, but It does nag at me. It rememinds me of just how 'unfair' the scales have been in the past. Back in the 2e days I wanted to have a BBEG be a high level warrior king...around level 8 PCs totaly had him out classed (he was level 25 high level campign) and I had to start makeing up weird magic items to keep him a threat. This then make me think of a 3.5 game that I played, where 5 warriors killed 5 mystic dragons, became immortal (ageless to be exact) and took control of the world. We were suppose to start at level 8, and work our way up to fight the weakest of them at level 17...The DM almost cryed, he drew them up as 20,22,24,25, and 27th level characters, a Ranger, 2 fighter, a rouge, and a multi classed fighter/ranger/rouge...the 8th level PCs on the other hand were a psion, a cleric, a Druid (me), a warblade/Warlock, and a Duskblade/Swordsage. we played for 2 games, leveled to 9th level, and had each gotten a hombrew artafact (I refused to use mine, I felt so bad it was way OP). Then the 5 of them showed up and we were suppose to run...The cleric pulled a will save or die spell and droped the 27th level multi class character int he first round, then me and another player had to explain that hidden in the PHB is the rule "fighters can't have nice things"... Now 4e has one saving grace...stat them as monsters not PCs...so maybe the weakest SK is a level 27 elite, and the most powerful ones are level 32 solos... [/QUOTE]
