[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7844794, member: 6919838"] I think it's not an issue that one example can prove. 10th to 14th is a five level range where you are all into super levels. So to me it's not surprising that it works well enough in some cases. But by even CR 12 you have 9th level spells possible in the adversary and the odds of the 10th level enchanter having 100 hp is a tad slim. But now let's propagate this back to say 1st-5th level parry. Odds that the "hero" of three battles in a row is the first level wizard (not even enchanter yet) ard pretty slim, right? Personally, it would seem to me that before 9th level, the impact of a 5 level range of PCs really hits the lower PC hard. Its not insurmountable- the whole party can scale back thrircefforts, buff up the lesser and if the threats cooperate it can manage, but I would not call that being something that the system handles well. After 9th, it matters much less, everyone is already super. But typically most games run most of their time in that 1-8 range, not 9-16. [/QUOTE]
