Hell back when I had time to GM I had a bad habit of turning any campaign into the planescape setting once characters got high enough level.

Yes, I know this isn't a "fantasy campaign" setting, but this was my favorite sci-fi game, and Wizards should totally revise this property to use the 4E rules. "Dralasite Thunder Punch", "Yazirian Gliding Attack". Come on!
