[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 259880, member: 3570"] [b]Re: Re[/b] The point was 5 18th level wizards against a 27th level fighter would fare much better than 5 1st level wizards against a 12th level fighter. The point still stands, and its correct. A natural twenty and the cleric hits the fighter with a touch attack, period. If that touch attack is Harm, ouch. If that Harm is followed with a Quickened Inflict Light Wounds, goodbye. If its a 20th level min-maxed Hierophant with max spell DC and Harm as a ranged touch attack...that 25th level fighter needs to be damn careful. Well, then. So much for epic campaigning being so fundamentally different that DM's will have to alter their entire style of play. ...and a 1st level rogue will get his ass kicked by a fifth level rogue, and a 5th level rogue will get his ass kicked by a 10th level rogue. Your point? Which is no different than pre-epic play. 1st and 2nd level characters. Not much difference. 20th and 21st level characters. Not much difference. 1st and 10th level characters. A lot of difference. 21st and 30th level. A lot of difference. And so on. [/QUOTE]
