[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 6531939, member: 6790669"] Dandu, with all due respect, 1) Yes, it becomes very difficult to adjudicate, but it is possible, except for the problem that I described. 2) This group has started other games with other characters, but they (as do I) love their epic characters, and want to keep playing them as long as possible. And I don't blame them one bit. I don't like the idea of giving up on a character just because he's become epic. There's plenty of stuff left to do; it just plays out on a different tier. All of the pre-epic "world saving" has turned into epic-level "universe saving," but the core adventure elements remain the same. And the game gets deadlier, because your main rivals are no longer mortal, and you can't just go crush them like you could in the old days. When your rival controls a whole plane of existence, and commands an army that can't be counted (I'm talking about Graz'zt, here) then going to his castle and taking him out takes on a whole new level of meaning, LOL :) Long story short: we won't ever give up these characters. We might play them less, in favor of other campaigns, but they will never go away completely. These characters are not supermodels, boxers, or football players, and their careers don't end at age 25. :D 3) Yes, Haste is broken, I saw that long before 3.5 was published, so I changed the spell myself. And I happen to like my version better. No biggie. Hmmm, I think I need to make myself a signature block now. Hawke [/QUOTE]
