First Post
I've been invited to sit in for a few sessions in a D&D game I don't normally attend. I know most of the players, and they tend to be a bit more "war-gamey" than my group, so power is more important than it might otherwise be. The DM has even told me as much, since he also plays in the game I run. He thinks that I'm a better powergamer than his players are and wants me to "show them how it's done." (If I'm actually a successful powergamer, it's because I have ENWorld to turn to.)
The group has four players right now, each playing one PC at 9th level. They have the archetypal dungeon-crawling party because they do a lot of hack and slash. Right now, the party includes
wizard/mage of the arcane order
cleric/radiant servant of pelor
rogue
ex-barbarian/fighter/paladin
The DM for this new group has told me that I can play one 9th level character or two 7th level characters. He knows that I have a lot of experience playing two PCs, but I don't think he has a preference either way.
I want advice:
from a powergamer's perspective, which is more powerful, and what classes should I play to demonstrate just how powerful things can get? Sources include all WotC or Malhavoc products.
