[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3861178, member: 5100"] I think you've just nailed why I've never cared for uber-level D&D games. I don't have a problem with the idea of playing Hercules. I just have a problem with the notion that he could have started at ECL 1. Achilles... Well, I could buy into the feel of having someone quest for that invulnerability around level 20. I'm not saying magic doesn't have it's place -- if the [i]sword[/i] flames, that's cool; if the [i]fighter[/i] makes a semi-random weapon flame, that's wizard territory. The rest of what Achilles did was still "mundane", by which I mean rather improbable but an exaggeration of mundane fighting techniques. .... I think my best-case scenario would be to have levels 21-30 be at the inhuman/wuxia/superhero level, [b]including[/b] all the spells that demand fighters have those powers. I'm really almost as opposed to many of the higher level spells as I am to pseudo-magical warriors. I'll just play up to 20th level and have "300" be the top of the food chain. [/QUOTE]
