Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 259391" data-attributes="member: 426">I think there is a difference between the chatsite games and table top games.  The key thing is if everyone agreed to a set of rules at a game, then it is only a question if everyone abided to a set of rules and had fun.The fact that you distinguish between the chatsite version of your character and the tabletop one (who will likely be a mere 21st level) seems to show that  you have a sense of proportion.There are big changes between editions. Heck, a 3rd Edition character of 15th level could probably kill anything in the 1st Edition monster manual as he is moving much faster than his counter parts.  (Also, an 88 hit point ancient red dragon looks very week compared to what exists in 3E.)To me, the issue of gaming is simply this: Are people having fun in their interpreptation of the rules.  The most powerful character I have created and run is epic level (after having him around since the mid 1980s) and would be in the same power category as the stated NPCs I have seen on this thread.In the end, I think we have to remember that the rulebooks are guidelines.  It is up to us to determine how we use them.  Remember, you can always rule 0 even the Epic Level Handbook.  For example, many DMs may decide there is an upward limit to how much one person can do in a round.Can we stop some of the recriminations around here?  We can disagree without being disagreeable.</blockquote>
