[QUOTE="jimmytheccomic, post: 7308665, member: 6875326"] So, I'm gonna go against some of the conventional wisdom here, but I LOVE high level gaming (both running and playing), and want to add my perspective. "Save someone from a dungeon" should be absolutely trivial for high level characters. Let it be! They gate the guy out. Tell them about all the challenging things in the dungeon they skipped right past. They'll high five each other, look back on how when they were lower level they would have had to slog through it, etc. It SUCKS when players earn these high level abilities and then don't really get to use them, or get blocked from them. Just go back to a low level game if you don't want the players to do crazy stuff. It's feels awesome for players to hit "Skip" and start really altering the setting. What I tend to do when I run high level is, if they're on the material plane almost everything is trivial for them. The scale of the story should be expanding to the outer planes. Simple search and rescue should be beneath their attention. No more dungeons, they're moving through the corpses of dead gods, battling living planes, slaying ancient beasts that swim through the astral sea. They feel so badass if the low level stuff is trivial, and they somehow overcome what feels like high level, epic stuff. [/QUOTE]
