[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 8856682, member: 15882"] I actually think this a great story. Multiple Lineages have been rearranged to make this possible. Powerful people would now be illegitimate and would be desperate to hold on to their power. The PCs still have to go announce it and prove it if they want to claim it for themselves which will lead to all sorts of interesting political intrigue, assassinations and quests. And each country is going to have its own problems and hurdles to deal with. Sounds awesome. And when they finally succeed? Sure, retire! You might be 20th level by then anyways. Or you might have to defend your kingdoms from invading armies of extra-planar attackers, or prevent a Tarrasque from destroying your Capital. Or quell rebellion created by a secret cult(or by all the enemies you created). And if they don't want to be Kings, they just don't pursue the millions of plot hooks your player just created for you and they just go on riding the DMs adventure railroad. I don't see it as dumb at all. Way less boring than wishing for a magic sword. [/QUOTE]
