[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1890981, member: 1129"] Darkness, you and I are thinking along the same terms. I don't care if it's a 100K sized army. They are not going to get the mage. A mid (11th-14th) level group would have a 'decent' chance but 100K 1st-6th level people are not. The mage (and his party), are going to use hit and run tactics and can cause such massive attrition that the army is either going to run out of food, or just realize that this is not the way to handle a group of high level warriors. Any PC that didn't use his advanced spells to take out the military intelligence such as teleporting one 20th level rogue into the command center with improved invisiblity on himself and the rogue, really isn't a PC. Someone mentioned that it doesn't matter how powerful the characters are because hey, they couldn't stop the 100 year war and I say that's because they weren't there. Think of the PC's as being the main characters in Star Wars. Change on a galaxy wide scale due to a small group of rebels. How about the Forgotten Realms latest trilogy with the Hunter's Blades? Comes down to a few smaller groups of power. PCs are world shakers at those levels and they should be. The trick comes in challenging them. I too have found that as they advance, they move into their own spheres of influence. If the mage is doing research, he moves into the old tower. The fighter gains his armies, the rogue his minions, the monk his school. [/QUOTE]
