[QUOTE="Tratyn Runewind, post: 4709, member: 685"] Hello! I always like to see interesting stats for well-constructed high-level characters, especially ones with the "D&D History" of the Greyhawk legends. But for those quoting 1e and 2e stats in favor of their arguments, I'm afraid that my suspicion is that all bets are off when it comes to rule-set changes. I remember when the (half-hearted) attempt was made to convert Mystara/The Known World from the BD&D rules to AD&D 2e. The BD&D rules were designed for play with a maximum level of 36 (plus Immortals!), and Mystara crawled with some interesting high-level types. When it was converted, they all had their experience summarily amputated to fit the Procrustean bed of 20th level. Still, the very existence of an Epic-Level supplement is a sign of a shift away from that sort of thinking, and hope does spring eternal. So bring on the Mighty of Greyhawk! :) [/QUOTE]
