[QUOTE="Nightfall, post: 250236, member: 374"] Well even though many would say "What?! Why are you getting involved?!" I think I'll jump in. What I have to say about the epic level handbook is quite simple really. I want it because I want the OPTION to exist. d20 and indeed 3rd edition itself SHOULD be about OPTIONS! I don't want some dm to Tell me "No you can't" unless he has a solid reason like "This world doesn't have that." I can deal with that. I come from the same lines as everyone else. Also I don't see a problem with powerful PCs dungeon crawling their lives away. You know what they say, live by the sword, you die by it. :) For my own favorite campaign setting, well in a world were gods are active and indeed forces like the Titans exist, why should there exist the option of epic level power as opposed to deifying a PC. (Course I still think my conversions of the SL Gods will be world shattering but that's just me! ;) ) That said, I want to see what guys like PC have to say and of course my mate Krusty since he IS the god/epic level man. Believe me it's thanks to him I have a healthy respect for ANY Slacerian and/or other creatures he might toss around. I'd like to see a Force Dragon take on something like epic level Dragon Mystic Slacerian Great Wyrm. Now THAT would be interesting! :) So for all you people out there that are booing and hissing about "We want realism!" I say, "stand outside in the rain for while" This is game folks, one I enjoy playing and being around. It's certainly more invigorating than some other things people do, like just partying, doing drugs (course gamers aren't immune I know but hey does make for fun times..erhm maybe! ;), or just trying to find new ways to kill off boredom, loneliness and/or isolationism. Give me gaming any day over the way the human races tries to distract itself. And GIVE ME an EPIC LEVEL PENUMBRAL LORD! :) Go Dar'Tan! ;) [/QUOTE]
