[QUOTE="Pergentile, post: 5532129, member: 6671368"] It is interesting watching Dandu logic down a half dozen other posters. Especially when those posters only argue specific and sometimes irrelevant details since everything else is so flawlessly stated. Only if one could give experience to a single person infinitely. . . On to the topic at hand though: Any 10th level charisma based character with Leadership, Extra Followers, an Admirals Bicorne, and some renown, could have themselves an Army of at least 500 and a very nice Divine General. If the group pooled resources from an early stage, it is perfectly viable that the group could besiege a city-state with the spell-casting of their own party and realistically expect that city-state to have next to no magical capabilities. In such a case, even a single "Rock dropper" could rack up hundreds of kills, which is HUGE assuming a City-State with a population of 20k and about 5% of that being combatants (1k). If the players were besieging such a City in the intent to convert the entire city-state to one devoted to a single god, the outside support they could gain would only compound their advantageous position. The group wouldn't even need to besiege the city. Simply move a few hundred people into the city individually, then initiate a coup d'etat. Where do you live Dandu? I want to move there and be part of a Campaign you DM. [/QUOTE]
