[QUOTE="Jaya Ballard Balla'th, post: 2558658"] If you're an Epicish character, you've got better things to do than pick fights with low level characters. Even if it is to chill in a bar with friends and a tankard of ale. Jaya dun' pick fights at all, generally. And the last few that he has, he's gotten his arse whooped. So :P There are powerlevels, since that's the way pretty much all games are built off of. It's our responsibility as players to play appropriately. If a charie's utterly outmatched, but does something rather unexpected and witty, then hey, it doesn't matter how big and bad you are.. y'just got pounded. That doesn't me that the same outmatched charie's going to be cutting their opponent to ribbons upfront, either. **Shrugs** Jay's dead on tabletop. Thanks to a lowly minion mage that cast Grease on the stairwell the party was running down. Broke his neck. :( Sure, it's fantasy, but there's enough realism for that sort of thing. If that same mage had tried flinging spells, Jub-Jub there would still be around and kicking on paper, though, now wouldn't he? **End-Ramble** [/QUOTE]
