[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4694666, member: 710"] I never tried it (i like high levels abilities!), but I think what also speaks for E6 is a different feeling of powers and scales. The difference between 1st level and 20th level is colossal (yes, that's -8 penalty to AC in 3.x!). Your fight entirely different type of monsters and have amassed astounding powers. With E6, you keep at a "relatable" scale. You still play the guy from 1st level, he still has similar abilities, and the threats he can face are still similar to those he could face at 1st level (he just has an easier time with most of them, but it's not as if he could ignore them). E6 is 3Es equivalent to 4Es "Heroic Tier", in my opinion. The fact that your head is less likely to explode at level 6 than at level 16 is a big plus. The fact that you miss out on the awesome stuff you can pull off at level 16 is a minus. It depends all on your priorities - feel, no head-explosions or awesome powers... [/QUOTE]
