[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5515858, member: 326"] I thought that was my plan? :) I honestly don't remember that at all, what happened? :confused: I remember once Mirv and Thrin fighting Tiamat and her consorts and stupidly I left the tactics up to Mirv on that one which meant our forces got hit by every breath weapon. :eek: One of the weaknesses of 4E compared to 1E is that there is a much narrower window of threat level in 4E. Whereas in 1E basically once you got to about Level 15 you could probably fight anything from Orcs to Orcus. In 4E you need to keep the enemies between 5 levels up or down (give or take). The different ranks in 4E alleviate this problem to a degree and of course combat in 4E is FAR more satisfying than 1E, so I suppose its apples and oranges. However, its interesting reading over the WotC Epic Tier Adventures because it clearly exposes the flaws in the longer adventure format at epic levels. ...I really should remove all the bonus damage on a crit, he's far too powerful with it. :blush: [/QUOTE]
