Its not just the same fights with higher numbers, at epic and immortal levels eventually anything is possible. So the potential is there to manipulate D&D mechanics in ways that perhaps wouldn't be 'fair' at non-epic levels.  Which is another reason why its always better to roleplay a deity from lower levels up through to divinity, because it means you have invested more time in the character and thus have much more to lose than someone who has just rolled up the deity the day before.We will win...whatever the cost.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />   Thats not fear, its caution backed by intellect.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> The only time Thrin has ever lost was when he didn't know the enemy, thus making the cardinal sin of ignoring Sun Tzus advice. I don't like losing. Ever.Well its not like you didn't give him a chance.This reminds me of a film I watched yesterday...Superman 2. The three villains, all with the same powers as Superman, beat him up and temporarily wedged him between a bus and a building. The people on the streets of New York, thought Superman dead, and collectively decided "Lets get them!". Fortunately the movie was a 'U' certificate and the villains just used their super breath to blow them down the street.I was just wondering do gamers see epic play as a sort of 'U' certificate movie, wherein thanks to resurrection (and similar 'get out of jail' options) they can't seriously be hurt?You taught me well Obi-wan....by the way Revenge of the Sith is good, but not great IMO. Its all a bit haphazard, I'll probably write something on it when I get the chance. It appears some of these players see epic gaming as some sort of security blanket...should be fun to pull back the covers on them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I can remember complaining about the Raistlin debacle; the Drakhen (Planetar) incident and the Oleg Gadinsky metagaming. But not the Sarasathsa question. Not saying I didn't complain...just that I don't remember doing so. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
