[QUOTE="Tyler Do'Urden, post: 3679869, member: 4601"] Because Union is indicative of everything that is wrong with WotC's treatment of epic-level campaigns; simply put, Union isn't anything new- it's just power inflation. "Hey, your city guards are 2nd level warriors... ours are 20th level fighters!" Unlike the old high-level campaigns book (which specifically said it wasn't designed to help players build characters made to "lay waste to the countryside"), the ELH is all about inflating the numbers, and inflating them to a point where the game isn't really much fun anymore. As the high-level portions of the Adventure Paths have shown, there's really very little reason to continue gaming much past 20th level anyway, as you can do about anything at high levels (15th-20th) that you can in the "epic levels". So yes, I'll keep Sigil and skip Union. When PC's are 20th level, it should mean something... not that they're just 1st level characters with more numbers to keep track of. [/QUOTE]
