[QUOTE="hanez, post: 5906766, member: 82160"] Change the record indeed. Lots of moaning and groaning. Talk about 15th level is odd considering thats just when most campaigns usually peter out anyways. I think D&D should get a lil wacky in the last few levels anyways. The fighters are commanding armys and the wizards are jumping planes, it seems like some people are just complaining that all the epicness isnt exactly the same from character to character. Last time I looked at a poll (source?) almost no one played level 15 and up anyways. I agree with increasing balance, I think many people are raising legitimate issues that can and should be changed. But the sheer force of their argument (fighter equaling a commoner for example) is on a level that I can not agree with. Lets not pretend that everyone played wizards and no one played fighters, lets not pretend that the wizard was killing all the npcs, picking all the doors, always flying and being invisible sneaking around to counter the rogue while he's summoning his own armies every encounter while the fighter watched. By and large this didn't and wasn't happening, although it makes for a good history rewrite on forums. Sure your l33t build was pretty overpowered, sure it was arguably more powerful then other characters. But it was largely remedied in most situations, by good dms, varied adventure designs, treasure, players who thinkin your a j-rk for using it and the existence of social conventions in a social game. Which is to say its not as big a deal as some people are making it out to be. [/QUOTE]
