[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5312939, member: 29398"] If you're projecting 8 levels out I congratulate you for your foresight while at the same time suggesting it may be concern over nothing. 8 levels, in any system, is a *lot*; and through no fault of your own I think you're quite right in saying you don't know...and probably can't know...how they'll function at that level. Also, 8 levels is loads of time for other things to happen; not least of which is character turnover. How can you know (unless you're a DM who never kills characters or allows them to retire) you'll even have the same party by then? And once even one character changes, all your projections pretty much go out the window. Believe me, I know. :) Prepare to be surprised on an ongoing basis, then. Adventuring parties are among the most resilient things in the universe. They'll find a way, even if said way involves doing something else for a while in order to power themselves up with extra levels and toys. I'd say play it out and see what happens, but have a side adventure ready if they get overwhelmed by the main one. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
