But it was in every edition of D&D at least up to 3rd (i didn't play 4ae so maybe it was there too). Doing standard adventuring stuff was intended to become lass of a focus as the PCs gained higher levels. There were other challenges to explore. It was built into the game from 0E, with followers and fortresses construction.It wasn't that high level PCs were prohibited from adventuring, it was just assumed most of their time would be dedicated to other things because of responsibilities. Bt like old Arthur or Conan or Eric, sometimes those adventures would demand attention.  The difference in all those cases is, of course, a recognition of the protagonist's mortality. If you have fun playing 15th level characters going on the same adventures they did at 5thlevel: congratulations.  But that's not what we're talking about. We are talking about higher leve PCs wanting to do something great.</blockquote>
