[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5768337, member: 326"] Hey there! :) Maybe he was just the exception, not the rule though. They are not saying you couldn't have a stone horse, just that most people don't (at that level). Yes I loved that bit in Lord of the Rings where Frodo decapitated the Balrog...oh wait, thats right, it was the high-level immortal (?) Gandalf who actually took that monster on. The more civilised an area, on average the less threatening the monsters are you'll run into. The more hostile the environment, the more dangerous the creatures. If you run into a dragon in the nearby hills next to the town, then chances are it will be young enough to have not brought much attention to itself. Actually by detailing the same monsters using different ranks (and thus different levels adjusted to keep the same XP value) you could encounter dragons of the same ages at different points of the game. Thats what happens when you don't make the tiers distinct enough. Paragon tier characters should be involved in running Castles and Temples, Epic Tier characters involved in running countries. ...In other words make sure 5th Edition is a 5000 page book, every rule, every location, every option and every play style must be detailed from day one.
