[QUOTE="Blade of Desecration, post: 2672033, member: 27325"] Nah, I think we should make the setting have more magic than psionics, Macrovore. As to ChaosEvoker, my thoughts on mid-power are this. In a low power world, admittedly the PCs are probably the big kids on the block, but for me, that's just the problem with Ebberon: there aren't nearly as many guys who you can say "Holy crap, I'm not going anywhere near him." In Ebberon, the leader of one of the continents most powerful fortresses is a [I]3rd level paladin.[/I] In my groups Ebberon game, we've only been playing for a few sessions, and we're already that powerful. Really, I can understand the appeal of the PCs being the biggest guys around, but that kinda' limits what the GM can do. High power I agree with you on: as much as I love the Realms, there's always a bigger good guy than you. If you're a PC, why fight Larloch when he attacks you? Just tell the Chosen that he's out of his whole and they'll be all over him like yo' momma on the donuts. Mid-power give the most options in my opinion. The PC might very well be the most powerful characters in a twenty mile radius, or even in the whole city, but there is still always a bigger evil to fight. Also, I like it more realistically, because you don't outstrip all the NPCs in the world in a few sessions: the kindoms Archmage is more powerful than any PC, and probably will be for a while. But when they do manage to outstrip him in levels at last, then they are truly powerful individuals in their own right. Just my take on it... [/QUOTE]
