Message: <blockquote data-quote="Retreater" data-source="post: 5795802" data-attributes="member: 42040">I have vacated my weekly Wednesday game - the one that's 8th level with the occassionally 35 AC dwarven warden. I've passed the screen to a player who knows the various powers and character options better than I and should be able to present a better challenge.  I had taken about two years off from 4E to play Pathfinder from just after KotS until around the Essentials release. I think that during that time I missed out on a lot of the development of the game that was necessary to run it successfully. I don't think that I have an appropriate level of "system literacy" (is that a good term for it?) to be able to run the game. In short, I think that 4E has grown so quickly and massively full of character creation options that I don't have sufficient knowledge to be able to DM.  I can't really argue with what a player brings on a printed out Character Builder sheet, especially since I wanted to have the campaign open to everything. To retract that now and place new limits on characters would seem a case of sour grapes, and I think it's ultimately better to ask someone else to run the game. I am still currently running the 4th level game, which hasn't gotten to be as crazy as the 7-8th level one due to my increased familiarity with the players, their characters, and the smaller number of players at the table. I might be able to keep that game fun and challenging for a bit longer.</blockquote>
