What the hell are you talking about, Cant? When the hell did I ever said my character was an elf or celestrial, or shoots lazer beams? Really, show me the f***ing post, Cant. Really. Where the hell did I say that? Nor did I say they are making the game easy. I said they are making low level characters too powerful. BIG WORLD OF DIFFERENCE, Cant. Get it right.
You make the PCs more powerful, then you need to make the adversaries more powerful in order to be a challenge. Then you have to make the PCs even more powerful so they can overcome the challenges, then you have to make the challenges even stronger to challenge them. In case you haven't noticed Cant but their has been an escalation of power with each edition. From 1st, to 2nd, to 3rd, now 4th. 4th Edition makes the 1st level newbies practically super heroes, and once they get to mid to high levels they would become gods. That's okay with you, because their adversaries would be just as ridiculously uber as well.
