[QUOTE="Felix, post: 1506229, member: 3929"] Any DM worth his salt would modify those armies of undead such that the PC has a hard time defeating them no matter his stats. If the game is 20 point buy, then the 4th level PCs will be fighting skeletons. If the game is 40 point buy, then they'll be fighting vampiric lich leigons with the feindish template. Either way, they fight an army of undead and should get the same XP. The absolute value of stats is meaningless. You must compare it to the power level of the game to have any meaning. So in a low power game a character whose highest stat is 14 will be as powerful, [i]relative to his world[/i], as the PC who has three 18s and lives in a high power world. In the end it's a stylistic choice. Do you prefer fighting hordes of skeletons or would you rather face off against feindish half-draconic vampire wights? Answer that question and you will have revealed your prediliction for high or low power games. [/QUOTE]
