Per the 'Am I a bamboozler?' thread - this is an attempt to get quick feedback so I have an answer when I see my wife tonight!
I recently convinced my dm to run me in a solo game. My character is a gestalt hex warrior – war mage of 4/4, and I was run through a 2nd level dungeon. Did I bamboozle the dm (was it a fair dungeon level to run me through, or was I too high a level)? I’m wondering, as I went through it fairly easily, but it seemed to be mostly due to a high amount of luck (I’m AC 19, not exactly untouchable, and as a war mage, I rocked when I discovered almost all my foes were of the fire type – ^ Frost Orb ^). Should I get normal exp?
By my estimation, I figured 4 level 2 characters = el 5, or equal to a 4-4 gestalt. Did I make a mistake?
The dungeon, by the way, was from an older dungeon magazine w/ roughly 12 rooms. The title mentiones fire in its name, has a magic blue door, and was the sealed in chamber of a bunch of bandits who served a guy called the fire lord. It had a magic shield that absorbs or dispels or …. fire creatures that you touch. Got it off of the innkeeper at the start.
If I erred, please let me know, I don’t want to take advantage of my dm! Of note, my dm was my wife - god help me if I've done her wrong!
