[QUOTE="Craer, post: 1536641, member: 435"] My character, when compared to others in the group, is on the higher end when it comes to melee damage, but that's about it. There's a level 27 Druid that has nuke spells covered and wildshapes into elemental form regularly, a (total) level 28 melee fighter (18 Fighter, 4 Ranger, 4 Barbarian, 2 something else) who, while I beat him on normal damage, if he crits, whatever he's fighting usually dies thanks to Devastating Critical. There's a level 17 Psionic Warrior/Master Thrower whose character joined the group around when mine did, and another character that is a level 10 something. I say "something" only because he's actually shown up for two of the past five sessions - we usually make him the pack mule. We think he [i]might[/i] be a dwarf of some sort. :heh: Judging by the items we find, yes. Oh wow, yes. Not at all. He's been DMing since the height of 2nd edition, and has dealt with characters of this level quite a bit. The campaign is generally lighthearted. I do have fun, but then again, sometimes the game has its fantasy element shattered by the player of the Fighter. He's proven himself capable of turning any dramatic moment in the story into yet another "I charge and ::roll:: crit. My fort save for Devastating Critical is DC 45, does it die?" situation. So, yes, I have fun. Sometimes. Then again, sometimes I feel like I need to make sure my character is as powerful as possible just to keep up with some of the other players. -Craer [/QUOTE]
