WotC included a difficult encounter in one the published adventures, a roper, IIRC, in the "Forge of Fury", and copped a lot of flack about it. So no wonder they stear clear of that now. What the game assumes in general, and what a published module assumes are two completely different things.CR20 monsters exist in the campaign world, even when the adventurers are 1st level. The adventurers make what they will of it. A published module, can't spend the time or space to add in the extra detail you would hope to find in a campaign. If you only play published modules, then you will end up with a very strange environment indeed, and, in the end, find yourself standing in the "Epic" City of Union. Which by most accounts I have read, is not what people want.But how many coppers can a rogue of that level accumulate from low level NPC's in a day? But I suppose they all walk around town with their level stated on their foreheads as well. It is up to the Player to find adventuresome, heroic things to do. If stealing buttons from the poverty stricken is what he wants, fine. But while he is doing that, the others will be enjoying a different adventure. Facing a variety of challenges, some beyond their capabilities, and others below. The King, can be third level aristocrat, 10 years old. Being a king does not require you be a high level individual, merely that you have the obediance of powerful supporters.Killing the king can just as easily be an adventure for a low level party, as for a high level party. So could stopping a goblin/orc/lizardman invasion. Nope, not at all. There is such a thing as fair trade. You may have heard of it. To do otherwise is stealing, and not a good act. There is a very big difference between "making a profit" and "ripping someone off". At least, where I come from.</blockquote>
