[QUOTE="Sorrowdusk, post: 5976492, member: 96342"] Dont prep plots. Prep [I]scenarios[/I] and just let the dice fall where they may. That aside.... :cool: [url=http://mirrors.rit.edu/instantCSI/]Instant CSI[/url] Click the link. Click the glasses. You're welcome. In any case at certain levels SOME things JUST shouldnt be trouble for the PCs anymore. OH look it's a raging river.....we'll fly across. Things like the natural environment should rarely be obstacles anymore. The PCs spend more time dealing with adventure sites than traveling to them. Simple murder mystery or 'terrorist' plot? Pah.... :lol: Maybe at low levels in any case divinations rarely provide direct answers. When you can cast 5th level spells you are about 9nth or 10th level. Any creature of 11th level or above, or with a cr of 11 or above is "Legendary" in nature as are it's exploits. Your characters are on top of the world well before 20th level and any spell castable by characters of that level is legendary magic, because the PCs and their adversaries are among the few that can use them. Also: no one, not even a wizard can "beat the game" because the game isnt beatable. To be beatable, the must be a win condition. How do win at LIFE (not that one) itself? [/QUOTE]
