Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 5441626" data-attributes="member: 42582">Isn't 3 rounds fairly standard for high-level 3E fights?As for the broader issues, I ran a campaign - in Rolemaster, not 3E - that culminated in the PC's fighting Tharizdun twice - once in the form in which he had been freed from imprisonment, and once in the form he takes in the Void (=Far Realm). They also reimprisoned him.These 25+ level PCs used a lot of Time Stop to help them, which they got from entering into the dreams of a banished god who (before his banishment) had been the one of the most powerful magician and sages in the heavens. The fights against Tharizdun were, in turn, the culmination of a story arc that began something like 10 levels earlier, with a version of the Freeport Trilogy (which itself culminated with one of the PCs merging with a Dead God on which the lighthouse was being built to deflect Tharizdun - falling to earth from his heavenly prison - into the deep oceans). I also integrated all but the last part of Bastion of Broken Souls into the adventure. Plus some other stuff of my own.Anyway, I don't see what's objectionable about this sort of thing. For me it made a pretty dramatic way to end a campaign whose themes were the natures of heaven, law, sacrifice, freedom and enlightenment.</blockquote>
