He can't take them all out, and besides, just because there are no HIGH-LEVEL spellcasters to take him on, you can put together quite a number of lower-level ones. Not to mention wands. There's not too many casters that could shake off THAT many magic missles, fireballs, etc.Once again, he's going to have to raise that army. And if he's raising the army against a nation, then you know what? He's now become the super villian all the adventurers in the world are going to go after.If you let skill rolls totally decide this kind of thing, they you get what you deserve. Can you really say that someone could get you to kill someone you love/like just with a strong argument?It seems like you aren't reading much of what I wrote. The president may not be a trained assassin, but he can order a country bombed out of existance. That is power that a single individual would have a hard time fighting.And, if you begin to be that high level, you are going to start attracting the attention of a LOT of different parties. EVERYONE is going to want to be either your friend or your enemy. The Dragonmarked Houses, for instance, are going to want to use the power you weild.A good DM will be able to play with the PCs power levels just fine.</blockquote>
