[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3873574, member: 710"] I think the simple Scry-Buff-Teleport attack routine should probably be avoided. But I also think it is okay that Scrying and Teleport can be used to circumvent certain things. It is important thought, that there is sufficient time left to explore the game without them available. I think the tiers of play (Heroic, Paragon, Epic) is there to mark the differences. Heroic characters wander the wilderness, infiltrate the castle, and fight their way to the throne room. Paragon heroes divine the location of the castle, teleport there, [i]find the path[/i] through the castles defenses and dimension door through the throne rooms admantine walls. Epic level heroes divine the correct plane, scry the devil overlord to find out about his plans, walk ethreally through the castle to eventually reach his throne room. If you prefer Heroic play, you should ensure that your campaign is done within that time, or you slow down advancement. If you hate Heroic play, start at Paragon. If you're a Planescape fan, maybe you should concentrate on Epic Level play. If you like it all, just play through levels 1 to 30, and notice the changes to the feel of the game as the tier changes... [/QUOTE]
