[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6646337, member: 5834"] Depends on the level whether 300 points of damage circumvents an epic fight. I do epic fights at all levels or fights I consider epic. Fighting a powerful owlbear for lower level characters can be an epic fight. I can't get behind your idea of an epic fight. I want a solo dragon to be an epic fight like Smaug in Lord of the Rings. Your view of an epic fight looks like an MMORPG or something like Warhammer in my mind's eye. I don't want that kind of epic fight with over-sized armies of creatures that should be powerful solo creatures capable of fighting a party without much minion help. Doesn't suit my idea of an epic fight. Looks like a Superheroes and beyond to me. Or a level of Swords and Sorcery you see when gods fight. I'm not interested in that. I would not enjoy an encounter like the one you outlined above. I would consider it absurd and so far outside of what I consider interesting fantasy as to turn me off from the game. It's a further illustration of different strokes for different folks. We're way different in how we want the game to play and what we find interesting.
