[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 309836, member: 5868"] [b]Devils Advocate, part 2[/b] OK, I'll do this once. After that, it's pointless. Sword-dancer is welcome to the last word. Here goes: - Spent 3,000 years frolicking & nancing about the forest (got a reference for Legolas' birthday? I couldn't find it in the appendices. We don't have an acknowledged method of converting year to XP, do we) - All the men accomplished this too with their horses - Far shot with critical hit - See my version of the Balrog. No problem for Wiz8. - Given an equivalent interpretation of ringwraiths, no issue. Remember, everything scales down together. Scare spell. - Sauron wasn't full power in Dol Guldur, and we don't know anything about the escape - Dispel Magic - Again, age does not necessarily equal power or experience - That's how he got to sixth level (Tolkien is stingy with XP) - Leadership feat - Rgr 6 vs. five wraiths. Doable. Again, everything scales. - My point. If the highest level person in the world is 13th level -- he's still the highest level person in the world. Level assignments are a completely arbitrary measure. You definition of powerful does not equal my definition of powerful. -Good point, might need some tweaking on the ring. Or maybe everyone's spirits get lifted by the good weather the ring enforces? :) We probably won't agree on character or monster definitions or levels. Rather than refer to arbitrary acts (as above) -- Give me some evidence, then show in D&D terms why that evidence can [i]only[/i] be accounted for by a character of X level (Example: Sauron must be at least 12th level, because that's the prerequisite for Forge Ring). Or, let's just agree to disagree. [/QUOTE]
