[QUOTE="ZickZak, post: 7258531, member: 6748747"] Hello, I am looking for the "Sweet spot" of 4th Ed. We play only twice a year when going to a weekend house for a week - that is why we play one level and never level up. Currently we play 12th lvls, but by heavy optimizing, I feel there is no real challenge in the encounters we go through. I want to be in a point where meeting an Adult Dragon means heavy tactics and coordination to escape or luckily kill it, not just Tank & Spank it to death yawning. Our DM has to come up with crazy stuff how to make encounters tough, such as all enemies doing daze > uncoscsious > stunned on each consecutive hit. What do you think is the Sweet Spot, where interesting builds are possible, but it feels more like Hobbit and not like Aegon the Conqueror? I am thinking of level 7 - 8, where there are no lvl 10 utilities and lvl 9 dailies, which seem to be already too OP. I am opened to HR, such as beeing level X and adding extra feat and enc power or so. Inherit Bonuses, only one magic item property allowed - such as Frost weapon's frost attacks. Thank you [/QUOTE]
