Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fedifensor" data-source="post: 1893958" data-attributes="member: 7289">House Cannith and Eldritch MachinesOne thing to remember is while Eberron has few high-level characters, they have a LOT of mid-level characters, often with access to specialized resources that outstrip even a 20th level wizard.Case in point - House Cannith.  In Sharn alone they have 5 members of the Darkwood Watch, which are all Cannith Wand Adepts (at least 10th level in order to have a level of the PrC.  Other house members in Sharn include Merrix d'Cannith (a 12th level character) and Tarya d'Cannith (a 10th level character).  They also have a horde of lower-level artificers and magewrights.  Put all that together and you have a lot of people who can work together to come up with something to stop the wizard (see below for details)Eberron also has the great equalizer - Eldritch Machines.  Imagine a one-use custom machine that can inhibit or neutralize the magical power of a specific target, no matter how powerful, if they can get a sample of his blood or hair.  If a 20th level wizard started going berzerk and using meteor swarm on every city where House Cannith had a business interest, you can bet that every secret laboratory of the House would dedicate their resources to building such a machine to stop him.  And, over 20 levels, how much blood and hair has that 20th level wizard lost during adventures?  I bet a Master Inquisitive could find a sample.Or, the simple solution.  Just tell the player, "Dude, you're wrecking my game, and it isn't fun to DM anymore.  Knock it off or find yourself another gaming group."  Eberron is a more subtle setting where the fun is solving the adventure without always pulling out the Staff of Kick-Ass.  Killing kings and razing cities with impunity may sell "Wizards Gone Wild" videos, but doesn't really fit the setting.</blockquote>
