[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 4787427, member: 704"] Reading some of the replies in this thread, I get the feeling that there are many people who are holding something like the following mindset. - 'V has just sold his soul and gained access to the powers of several damned epic mages. With the kind of epic level spells V is throwing around, he has to be at least level X. If I had access to that kind of character in a D&D game, I could totally kill the hell out of Xykon. Obviously V is doing this wrong / the DM is cheating for story purposes'. This line of thinking makes several assumptions, mostly about what Xykons actual power level is. It also makes assumptions about how much power V has at the moment. For all we know there might not have been a whole lot left in the tank for the 2 remaining splices after the Epic Teleports and what it had to use on the Black Dragon. On top of that, we do not know how powerful Xykon really is. We do not know if Xykon has leveled up since we last saw him. But what I find most strange is this; I can admit that the practice of meta-gaming can enhance the level of enjoyment in a D&D game, especially for those who enjoy the tactical side of the game. I am really not at all sure how much enjoyment there is to be found from meta-gaming a Web Comic. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
