[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 604537, member: 4937"] Like you question regarding Shelob, the real answer to this one is find a power level comfortable to the level of play you want to use in your campaign. MERP is famous for giving essentially every named character epic stats and every mentioned item large bonuses as a weapon or channeling device. Some D20 writers seem to agree and place the Mouth of Sauron as a Epic Level Fighter/Sorcerer. Others perfer a low level of power, and make tMoS no more than 9th level. It is really entirely up to you. My preferences in a campaign are probably created by early exposure to GG's World of Greyhawk, were a 9th level character really was special and not every other bartender and characters above 15th level were virtually unheard of and certainly world renowned legendary figurers. If your preferences were formed by exposure to the Forgotten Realms then you probably feel 9th level characters are common place and anybody who is anyone is at least 18th level, and 26th level characters occur in not insignificant numbers. I'd feel comfortable at something like 8th level fighter/4th level sorcerer, but I could definately see making use of the Blackguard PrC if that was your sort of thing. [/QUOTE]
