[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 6818604, member: 6799649"] Our 4-man party makes it to 15th, and then the tank buys the farm. No problem, I'll create another tank. After all, with Bounded Accuracy, 3rd level PCs can do the job just as well as 15th level PCs, right? Okay, my new tank is very happy with his AC 19 (best armour he can afford, shield, and +1 from fighting style). Not so happy with my 31 hit points though. The tank I replaced had 169. Okay, so my best chance to stay alive is to avoid combat, or make a character who can plink away at range. The trouble is that if the four-man tank-including party is changed into a four-man tankless party, it's suddenly not so easy to stay at the back safely, because their is no front line for the baddies to get past. So it becomes a three-man tankless party, and a hiding spectator, [i]who gains full XPs from the fights![/i] And you based this 'max 3rd level' rule on fairness??? If I was one of the surviving 15th level guys, I would think it was [b]un[/b]fair to saddle us with a 3rd level XP mooch. Also, we are a team. If one of our 'players' goes down, why don't we hire a replacement who is round about our level of competence. If Peyton Manning goes down, we might not have another Peyton on the bench, but are we really limited to a QB who is still in high school? [/QUOTE]
