[QUOTE="JBowtie, post: 2335663, member: 1810"] Another point worth making is that you can throw out all pretense of balance out the window. Miracle saves, divine intervention, and uber-powers work just find when you don't have to worry about stealing the limelight from others. In addition, only having to worry about the viewpoint/saves of a single character makes illusions and cover *far* more effective and scary (even if there's henchmen, they're NPCs so you can handwave those). In a solo campaign I ran for my wife a while back: * She was saved from death by a nymph - and permanently blinded when peeking. * Gained a unicorn cohort and (unknowingly, since she was blind) a vampire henchman. * Raised as a vampire the next time she died, with the side effect of having her blindness restored and losing her cohort. All at relatively low levels (1-5, IIRC). It was a blast and I could pull out all the stops. [/QUOTE]
