I commend all of you on your civility during this discussion. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I'm not concerned so much about epic rulers as the number of them. Did ALL of them go on adventures similar to the Illiad or Elminster's life? Even with the exp earned from ruling, I find it hard to justify giving near epic levels to all socially influencial NPC's, especially considering what players have to go through to get there.As I understand it, many players don't play kings or lead large groups. Most have a hard time dealing with the Leadership feat (my cohort is handling it...). It means too much work and having to stay at home to handle the land. In essence, they lose out on adventuring (ie they don't earn nearly as much exp). Guess I just find it hard to believe that someone under the same circumstance can achieve such high levels... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Or mabe I can't see how so many folks can survive the trials to gain those levels... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
