In terms of killing meaningful enemies, I have yet to witness casters dominate over even a 5-round battle. For clearing out chaff, sure, you've got a couple of high-level AOEs like Meteor Storm. You deal 100 damage to the BBEG, if he doesn't just have somebody Counterspell you. Then you're down...

What do you find most problematic at high levels? -Damage output -Party hit points -Divination/info gathering -Teleportation/Mobility -Something Else?

It can, but it requires more prep and forethought. Wards against teleportation and scrying, Guards and Wards, other reasons to not just leave the dungeon at will. Recent-ish dungeons my high level party have done include: -An old silver mine, now deliberately baited with small amounts of...

I like the narration idea. My current party (session 30-something, a bit over 2 years RL, we've had some turnover) is a fighter, a warlock, a monk, and a paladin, so 50/50 short rest/long rest classes. They're fine. A warlock has, what, 8-9 leveled spells he can cast? That's fewer than the...

One thing that helps high level play be fun is to not be stingy with magical items. A level 20 samurai has almost the same capabilities as a level 7 samurai, except he hits things more often, slightly harder, and is tougher to kill. Magic items make a huge difference for martials. The just-hit...

One of my players has been comparing his character to the Avengers for a while and calls it a superhero campaign. He has boots that let him do a hero-style landing from altitude and take no damage (they do AOE damage in a small AOE instead). He has an adamantium plated skeleton, and an...

"What kind of adventure should we design?" seems relevant to "How do we design a good adventure for high level characters?" If I rephrase your question as "How do you design a dungeon or set of adventures so they are actually challenging and fun for high level characters?" would that be more...

I'm wrapping up a high level (13-20+) hexcrawl adventure right now. It's ready to go on the DM's Guild as soon as I finish about another 120 pages of editing (bestiary, hex entries, items, page spacing, etc. Bleh). It has gone pretty well. -The 5-8 encounter adventuring day DEFINITELY breaks...

There's a ridiculous number of duplications. I've never even heard of a lot of the MTG ones outside of a few optimization discussions, so I'm just voting them down.

I was wondering if someone was going to say RHOD. I've heard good things about it, and have the 3.5 version. I have intentionally not read it in hopes of someone else running it someday.

Another adventure that ends just when things start getting really good at level 11.

That looks fun. We'll probably see it.

I'm currently playtesting (via PBP) a short module called Goblin Defense. 3 players start off as 1st level goblins taking over leadership of a small tribe in a newly-acquired lair. Each gets a small squad of 3 goblins to command in combat or in day to day life. They have to survive getting...
