[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 2279856, member: 20931"] I come from the 'role play/storytelling' school of thought, so you number crunchers probably won't be too worried about his... :p Has anyone else noticed a mass amount of epic or near epic characters? Yes, I know.. player characters ARE supposed to be epic. But I've looked at published material, as well as DM written adventures. Now YMMV, but the pattern I've noticed is that Kings are usual in their high teens. Church leaders tend to be near epic level followers capable of a resurrection very week or so. Same can be said for just about every class: everyone of importance socially is usually very high in level. Now, I haven't read the Eborron setting, so I can't say the same for it (YET! :) ) I'm not ranting about D&D mechanics so much as player perception. Why do important figures have to be epic or nearly so? I'm not looking for a flame war, so PLEASE be civil. I've simply noticed a trend and would like some feedback. Thanks again folks. ;) [/QUOTE]
