[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 4629747, member: 31216"] In my 8 years of D&D3, I've played through levels 1 to 12, with 4-10 being the most played. This is almost exactly what I played in nearly 15 years of AD&D1, also. If levels 4-10 are the sweet spot, where most people play, and things don't get wonky (long time, few rounds, one monster) until past level 12, why is the "long time, few rounds, one monster" spoken of as the accepted facts of D&D3 combat [i]in general[/i]? I can see complaining about this kind of combat when specifically talking about higher levels, but the complaint seems to be directed at all D&D3 combat. Why is all D&D3 combat smeared with the complaint of only rarer higher level combat? I mean, it's like complaining that all the game's magic spells are bad because many 7th-9th level spells are bad.
