[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3819667, member: 13966"] That's a problem with the Fighter, though. If it were an 8th-level Warblade, they'd be Emerald Razor-ing the party's Fighter with a touch attack + Power Attack and Weapon Specialization, hitting for a not-insignificant bit of damage. Not too bad for a mook, but not very impressive compared to what the party's higher-level warriors should be able to do in return. And at upper levels you've got to be running around with Death Ward, Contingency, or some means of scouting that doesn't put you in immediate danger. Else you're insufficiently prepared for the kind of dangers a great hero has to overcome. If 20th-level play is just a scaled-up version of 1st-level play, there's something seriously wrong. You didn't go from chump with his grandpappy's rusty old longsword to renowned wielder the legendary +5 vorpal longsword Dreadfang just so you would be strong enough to face down Ugg-Magug, Paragon Ogre of Nuttin' Speshul, bane of the Epic Hobo Quarter in the City of Union.
