It was an incredibly epic game, my main character was a level 20/20 sorcerer/monk. He was ridiculous, but I still got worked every combat.The DM (who used to post here under the name of SHARK) ran a big epic world. In our game, our mission to was seize a vast mountain fortress defended by hordes of very powerful enemies. Our party was composed of about 20 characters, most were NPC henchmen and followers under the control of the players.In one fight, we fought a large number of fire giants, each with at least 16 levels of fighter and each wearing more magical bling than we were. It was epic.One we got past them, we fought multiple winter wights. And if you know anything about winter wights, you know how ridiculous even one normally is. 40th level or not, those guys were freaking tough!The DM did a fantastic job of maintaining that balance between allowing you to be this epic hero that could level mountains, a demigod on par with Hercules, but also was able to challenge you by ramping up the world such that there were plenty of enemies and monsters tougher than you were. The main big bad guy of the campaign was an 80th level vampire lord who ruled a vast continent sized nation of tens of millions, and who fielded endless legions of undead and monsters in his bid for world conquest.</blockquote>
