[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 2571444, member: 3477"] I'm in the low level camp. One reason is that I'm the DM and I don't like statting out high level NPCs. High level play is much more tactical, although a good initiative is often already half the win. Well, this overly tactical acting with lots of over-the-top options and a myriad of modifiers is not my world. Actually, I find it boring. That's right, I said boring. I'm not sure why, but I guess it has to do with the feeling that I cannot connect to the actors anymore. They get bizarre heaps of numbers for me, and I simply lose touch. I can myself not get interested, and that most probably shows. Good, I'm no advocate of 1st level play. The interesting part comes later, although I enjoy the character development until it comes to that point. In mid levels, the game gets the right balance of character abilities and workload/fun for me. There's already enough room for tactical play involved to make also the fights interesting, even if those tactics look quite different from high level capabilities. I like it that way :). [/QUOTE]
