[QUOTE="J-H, post: 9048721, member: 7020951"] 3.5 takes a lot of work to build high level characters or monsters, and the math breaks down. 5e is fun. I have DM'd a campaign (Against the Idol of the Sun, campaign log on enworld and giantitp) that went to 20+2 epic boons, and enjoyed it. The players are a bit harder to make feel at risk, but it's still very possible. They can also take on a lot bigger challenges, and get to do cool things more. The run-up to the final battle involved coordinating the logistics of simultaneously delivering: -the party -a kraken -a teleportation ring that let a group of giants cast Teleport Circle to charge through it, entirely unofficially with no help from their government due to threats made by the BBEG's forces -several groups of assassins/wizards/etc. on the outskirts of the city. The game-winning moment was the Warlock using the Anyspell Tome to cast Wish, and using that Wish to cast Antipathy (which has no save) in an instant on the BBEG who was highly visible to the entire city, shattering the coordination of his entire (huge) army.
