Veldaar:
For the record, my problem wasn't with your desire to be on equal footing. However, having said that, *no one* should be soloing groups for '3 or more'. At least not logically. Problem is, we're all a bunch of spoiled rotten brats now, who've grown a customed to totally ignoring the con system. If you actually read what the con system says, you'll see people are doing way too many encounters that 'shouldn't' be possible (and there just aren't that many 'good' players for the number of those fights).
And if you think you get beat down wearing plate, put on the leathers my friend. Your life ain't so bad...
