[QUOTE="Justin, post: 8832520, member: 21262"] Of course. Epic levels would certainly favor spellcasters over martial types (look at the MCU), putting Eadric in an interesting middle-ground. But a good story such as this one deftly works around that, like Ed's limited but still significant magical ability (Holy Word is nothing to sneeze at) but also his plot armor with respect to his place in the Oronthonian cosmology as well as being Soneillon's boyfriend. Personally, I'd find it fascinating to be transported into this world (remember the 1980s D&D cartoon?) as something like an ascetic half-shadow rogue/monk-like Void Incarnate (perma-mindblanked and immune to force-effects!) and see how well I could survive. (Note my avatar. I like Glooms and would very much like to know more about them!) So many beings could still probably wipe out such a with a word or two (Be Not!), making the story aspect that much more critical to this tale than just pure D&D mechanical crunch. That said, I also deeply sympathize with Nwm, Green Nehael, and Ueddi: just squash all extra-planar interlopers and go back to letting life do its thing. (Vodka-sodas are reducing my Wisdom stat right now, so please bear that in mind when roasting my above ruminations.) [/QUOTE]
