[QUOTE="Squire James, post: 3894554, member: 548"] We had a few "PC's have ultimate power" games in the days of my youth where the characters ranged from level 25 to one guy with a level well over 2,000 in the same adventure. The level 2,000 guy certainly dominated the action but perhaps not as much as it would seem, since the other PC's were (1) still strong and (2) cooperating with the level 2,000 guy. It was a pure mystery... the PC's were all-powerful but not all-knowing. I got to work in stuff like this: Level 2,000 guy: I cast Commune, and ask Odin what exactly is going on here! Odin: I don't know... I was about to ask YOU! In college, we had a "shared world" campaign where we alternated DM duties so everyone got to play their favorite level 20+ character. I felt we did a pretty good job challenging each other, and it was a fun year or so. Being a DM for most of my life, all my level 20+ characters from other campaigns were really NPC's. I explained this to the other players, and they let me use whoever I wanted. My most memorable high-level game was a game I DM'd... I managed to craft a single human villain that singlehandedly fought off 6 level 25 PC's for 36 combat rounds. Admittedly, it was essentially a level 30 Mystic Theurge that got 2 actions per round, but keeping that guy alive that long was quite a feat! I think about 7 "instant resurrection" wishes were used by players during that fight. [/QUOTE]
