[QUOTE="mkletch, post: 400096, member: 3396"] Or perhaps we have a little more high-powered campaign than you are used to. My archer was crushed with a Destruction cast by a 23rd level epic cleric on Sunday, and I was still waiting at the end of the session for a True Resurrection. We added a new guy that night; he died too. I chalked it up to bad luck, but perhaps he was not prepared for this campaign. We have two other campaigns going (we trade weeks, or did before summer), and the others vary in power level, availability of magic, etc. Sometimes its nice to pull out the stops and go crazy, fighting nightshades and dragons. Other times it's nice to feel that a +1 sword is precious. Variation in style is what makes such an abstract system playable. We've done all of the WotC modules so far, and our little side adventure last week and this week was the only 'break', to tie up some character background threads. This sunday we'll probably start Bastion of Broken Souls, with a tasty EL 25+ red dragon. You don't get through that with three characters and weak gear. It is not spurious logic. The logic is solid. Game balance is an illusion, never achievable. Again, Epic cleric, dropping greater ruin, destruction and implosion all over the place, with a dash of 33HD advanced Nalfeshnee [i]gated[/i] in. All sorts of fun stuff. Not munchkin either, just high-end. Oh, she had +1 speed elven chain, too, buffed with Epic Mage Armor (+20 to AC). What's in your villain's wallet? -Fletch! [/QUOTE]
