Or more precisely, we like to stick to the rules we've agreed upon, since as I've previously stated and proven the game is heavily house-ruled. Also, there's a bit of thrill in the "how far we have come" feeling, when we compare what the characters were doing years ago back in merely Epic territory (or even pre-Epic), to what they're doing now. Seriously, what player who has built a character around combat (i.e. a warrior type) doesn't want to deal as much damage as possible? Dealing a million points with one hit is bragging rights, even if the number of people one can brag to is very small.In other words, I suppose, we do it because the math makes it cooler than it would be without the math.</blockquote>
