Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pants" data-source="post: 2177187" data-attributes="member: 8849">I enjoy High Level play, but seeing as the highest level game I've ever DMed got up to just around level 15 (almost pre-high level), maybe my opinion isn't worth as much.  Still, I've enjoyed DMing groups at any levels.  I like DMing at the low, low levels the least (levels 1 and 2) since the PC's, IME, don't really hit their strides until 3rd or 4th levels.  As a player, I'm sick to death of playing at 1st and 2nd level.  I've rolled up so many PC's that have only gotten to levels 2 or 3 before the 'campaign' would end that I'm just so sick of it.  I really would like to play a character that actually goes somewhere rather than fizzle out just when it's getting interesting.  I also think that playing Wizards and Sorcerers at level 1 is incredibly boring. So low levels (1-5) are my least favorite overall.Medium levels (levels 6-10 or so) are fricken fun.  The amount of abilities that the PC's have are pretty varied, they aren't too powerful and they aren't too weak either.  Plus, by this point, the PC's are usually able to take on some of the more iconic monsters and they've usually built up bases of power and reputations.  Medium level play is fun, from a DMing point of view and playing pov.PreHigh Level Play (11-15) is also pretty fun, although SOME fights do really end up being 'Who rolls initiative first?' type affairs.  And statting up PHL opponents can take a lot of time too, but I've always felt that the work involved usually is outweighed by the tremendous amount of fun involved.  The PC's can now take on Beholders, Illithids, Dragons, Demons, Devils, Daemons, and Giants.  Planar adventures become more common.  The PC's are becoming veritable world powers with enemies, allies, and minions of their own.  I haven't played a character past level 10 yet, but I'd love to.  The amount of things a character can do at this stage is phenomenal and I hope my DM continues to run his campaign.High Level (16-20).  Never played it and never DMed it, but I want to at least try it before I pass judgement.Epic (21+). Honestly, I have no intention of ever running an Epic game.  I'm not a big fan of the rules as they are written and the monsters abilities usually boil down to either A) Save or Die or B) Save or take lots of Permanent Ability Damage.  Not my idea of fun, but I wouldn't mind trying to play in an Epic campaign.</blockquote>
