Also, failing to kill the dragon would mean failing to get any loot from the treasure trove. It's probably just an excuse to have the characters have little in the way of extra items on them. One thing I will say, paragon tier was the right choice for the barbarian to be shown off, since it gives them enough rages to use one in each fight if they want (or actually use the rage strike class feature). In general though, there were arguably too many powers for even experienced players to keep track of everything. I know that the player that had problems keeping up at 5th level only got worse with an 11th level pregen. Playing up from 1st does have the benefit of only introducing powers a bit at a time.</blockquote>
