[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 3441872, member: 25619"] Agreed. Once in a while, it's fun to go level agnostic. The main thing about overleveled characters is they don't have to stop and sleep after every battle, so it's more "movie like". The most memorable instance of this for me was a 9th level ranger going into the Caves of Chaos in "Return to the Keep on the Borderlands" (2nd edition version of the module, played using 3e rules). He went on a "gun run" into the lair of the evil wizard to rescue a hostage. I didn't change the wizard's stats from what I had for the 1st level party that was also adventuring in the area at the time. The ranger made short work of the wizard's pets and guards, but got caught with a Hold Person spell. The wizard failed to kill him with a Coup de Grace and decided to skidaddle, because he was scared of the ranger's (badly wounded but still dangerous) animal companion and REALLY didn't want to see the rest of the party he assumed this guy was scouting for . . . ;) [/QUOTE]
