Plus the wahoo factor could make it hard for some people to even take it seriously.  Then too, Mystara developed under a rule sete that went all the way to level 36, while AD&D and its settings generally didn't go too far above 10.  So there may be differences in the power curves that could  wreak increasing havok in upper levels.  Maybe not so much in 4e though.</blockquote>
