[QUOTE="Hereticus, post: 5120935, member: 83093"] The variety of many feats and many powers is what makes the game interesting. Myself and most of those I game with prefer to be able to customize our characters fro an upcoming encounter or situation. Which reminds me of one time as a DM.... I allowed a group of six 8th level characters max themselves out with spells, charged items, potions, etc for an ambush they were planning on three devils. But they failed in surprise and only got one of the devils. The other two flew to a ledge and waited out the spells' durations. The ensuing battle was brutal for the unprepared characters as four of six went into negative hit points. I didn't kill any, but they learned that a sound plan trumped maximum maximization. 4.0 allows for much less maximization. But my wizard does like to position himself with a ritual, and have a daily power up to start the battle. [/QUOTE]
