[QUOTE="GMVictory, post: 833792, member: 10877"] Have you ever ran a superhero campaign? If you have, use that experience to think through what you could do since superhero campaigns have differing power levels. I have ran mixed level games and the important thing to remember is to match the lower level PCs with the appropriate challenge. If the group is facing BBEG, then make sure there are minions that the lower level PCs can battle. Ex: BBEG is protecting a site where a ritual is taking place. The high level PCs have to square off against the BBEG allowing the lower level ones to take on the cultists and stop the ritual. Mixed level games also help in creating big time drama. In one of my games a low level pc had to hold off BBEG through distraction and hit-'n'-run combat until the heavy hitters of the group got there. Everyone was cheering on the player to hold on until they got there. Definitely fun. [/QUOTE]
