[QUOTE="MonkeyBoy, post: 107927, member: 1229"] [b]I Want Both :)[/b] Doggy-Paddling up a waterfall sticks in my craw a little, and without magic I'm not in the mood for spiderman, but still... PirateCat; "Personally, I'm in no great rush for Deities and Demigods - but I'm very much looking forward to the Epic Level Book. PCs in my game regularly get skill checks in the mid-40's. They ought to be rewarded for that." I want the rules for advancement without the silly sounding stuff (swim up waterfall - there's epic, and then there's blatantly impossible...) I like using RL mythology for the basis of my IC pantheons, so I'll find value in between and around the stats for Zeus :D I know exactly what you mean about the skill checks; my PCs are 11th level, and they routinely hit 30-35, and 40 is not out of the question. There's a limit to how long "you do normal stuff, but look SO good doing it" will cut it. I find open lock the worst; given the existance of Knock, how many people are going to spring for a lock that'd stop even a 7th level rogue? Yet rogue players WANT to occaisionally run into a lock that gives them a challenge (at least mine do), preferably wihtout the party mage waltzing forward to steal the limelight :( [/QUOTE]
