[QUOTE="Creeping Death, post: 3599797, member: 253"] Yes, everyone in my group reads this. We all take turns DM'ing. We either get a module or come up with our own adventure then set the parameters. Last adventure, I ran, 12th level gestalts using any 3.5 source. This adventure, another person is DMing, 14th level non-gestalt using any resource you have. Next adventure the other DM has said 20th level characters, not sure about the parameters. We do this to try things out, learn the rules, test the limits, and see what combos are tough to challenge or are out right broken. Right now if my 14th level character expends his psionic focus I can manifest psionic dominate and that sets the will save to 32. Being a 9th level Thrallherd, I can pretty much dominate any dragon, outsider, elemental, and what not, that are supposed to present our whole party a challenge. While this is a cool character concept and certainly powerful, we haven't really had to fight anything yet. We knew about two huge elementals guarding a huge metal tree, so the cleric summoned a celestial monkey and sent it toward the tree, the eath elemental formed and stomped him, I manifested dominate and it failed, easily. Same thing with the fire elemental that was nearby. One thing I've thought about is, how would the rest of the world react to someone like this. Here is a guy that can dominate almost anyone at will, think of the political ramifications of someone like this who decided he wanted power. Visit the king in the throneroom, and pow, while the king is still the king, everything he says and does is by command of the psion. Hordes of low level troops are sent to kill this guy, he dominates a bunch of the closest ones and has them turn on the other troops nearby; rinse and repeat. He would be as valuable as a nuke. Half the rulers would want to have him on their side, the other half would want him dead. .... Wow, this sounds like it might make for a cool campaign.... [/QUOTE]
