Frankly... I think the campaign is far from broken.

At this point, unless we wipe out the entire party, or kill the paladin and cleric... and break their little stick in half.... There's no way of putting them in any real danger. The threat of death is gone because at any time they can resurrect their people. And that we've allowed them cohorts, the party is now about 40 people strong and filled with uuber-toons that can take out a minor army all by themselves.<br/><br/>Frankly... I think the campaign is very nearly broken at this point. Which brings up something geekalot has stated before and I agreed with.

Ressurection is BROKEN. At this point, unless we wipe out the entire party, or kill the paladin and cleric… and break their little stick in half…. There’s no way of putting them in any real danger. The threat of death is gone because at any time they can resurrect their people.

Frankly… I think the campaign is very nearly broken at this point.
