[QUOTE="Balesir, post: 5509928, member: 27160"] With previous incarnations of D&D I think that was a valid model; with 4e I think it [I]shouldn't[/I] be. I say "shouldn't", here, because (a) some people are clearly put off by the Rep. that very high level play has and (b) there is a lack of explanation, support and advice in the D&D books to show prospective Epic DMs that it's no longer the beast it was. But it [b]is[/b] no longer such a beast because of the structure of the 4e rules. Epic characters have no more At-Will, Encounter or Daily powers than Paragon ones do. They may still have more Utilities, feats and class abilities, but the core of what they can do in a round (the "action economy") is still [I]mostly[/I] intact. Plus, the game is not (supposed to be) as stupid-busted-broken in the balance and capability department as earlier editions were past level 14 or so. So, in summation, I do think you're wrong, here - but it may take a bit to persuade players and DMs that that is so... ;) [/QUOTE]
