[QUOTE="Halford, post: 4501445, member: 64844"] I am a strong supporter of the 6 months for a level policy for DMs - which I believe is official now, right? It has both the most votes, and is the median. I certainly don't want to disparage LEW, love it, but its pace does border on the torturous sometimes, for me at least. LEW does encourage some great roleplay, but I don't think thats because of its slow pace, I think thats part of the nature of PBP, and I have no complaints on RP for the L4W games which are all hugely enjoyable so far. I know what I will likely do as a DM. I am probably going to use my points to keep Brudd as one of the highest level characters, and I will likely artificially engineer with them for big adventures. Any power boosts will be explained as blessings of Hadeys, which for Brudd works fairl well. And I certainly do't feel that these will cause the character to lack in the roleplaying department. I understand that this differs rom LEW policy, but I consider that a good thing in this case. Its a larger inducement for DMing - great! It could create a class of super characters - I don't see this as a problem, they will either remain very close in level to their party members or strike out on their own. The fact of the matter is that I think seeing high level characters within 3-5 years would be great. I will give the world more of a player shaped feel, when Clerics can choose to adopt Bruddian Hadeyanism, or when Gith speak in hushed voices of Kama'zer or Ts'iri possibly being the Liberator. Though I will certainly lavish DM points on Brudd, I will likely wish to remain with the monsterous pirate crew for a long time, and as such I would avoid any significant level gap. [/QUOTE]
