[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8121310, member: 6987520"] LOL of course they do! Try to understand what is "high level" is entirely [I]SUBJECTIVE[/I]. That is like saying someone who has never driven at 200 mph has no real experience to judge that 120 mph is "fast" because you've gone "faster". To some people, 10 feet might feel "high up" but to other it has to be 100 feet or maybe more. Feelings ABSOLUTELY dictate reality to each individual. We might be 40 feet up with two other people and three think that is "high up" but the 4th is like, "Nah, this isn't even close to high up." Think of this, what is "old"? To a 10 y.o., 20 is "old", to 20, 40 is old, to 40, 80 is old. FWIW my general rule of thumb is twice my age is "old" but I understand other people will have other standards--just as different people have different standards of what is "high level. I've recently finished playing a game from 1-20 that took about 18 months IRL, so I for one have played the entire range. 9th level and the power that came from it [I]felt[/I] high level to me. Not mid-level, high. I would rank 13+ as "very high" and 17+ as super-hero/"epic" style. Your ranges vary, which is fine, but please understand your ranges are not the absolute truth of the matter. Your "feelings" don't determine what reality is for everyone--JUST you! ;) [/QUOTE]
