[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 9434028, member: 67338"] My tables (Mostly) have a gentleman's and gentle ladies agreement to not break stuff... or if we do we ALL break stuff. try to keep the overall power level similar as we can. it was harder in 3e, then with 1 exception (the time I had to ask the ranger to swap out his feats*) 4e was the easiest, 5e is easier then 3e but harder then 4e... 2e was somehow (maybe cause limited net access ment limited powergaming theory) as easy as 4e maybe slightly harder... [SPOILER="*4e ranger"]we had a ranger with a maxed set of stats and the best multi attack powers in a game with a tactical warlord buffing... once he took expertise it became too much... we knew this when in the same round of combat our rogue double crit dealt like 120ish damage and did a little dance for how much he did... and the ranger was PISSED he ONLY did like 130ish... yes the rogue did it with 2 encounter and the ranger with 1 daily but still it became noticeable. solution was for me to ask for him to swap out expertise and the one that added a static damage bonus he still would be the higher damage dealer but just slightly less[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
