PLUS you have 4 to 6 of them all walking around as a group AS though they were the Avengers themselves.  And that's only because they are the PCs.And  as far as needing characters that can handle those "high-level threats" in the setting... the only reason those threats like the Quori, Lords of Dust or Lady Vol ARE high-level is because Eberron is a D&D game that uses leveling-up as its reward system that the PCs will eventually reach... so the game HAS to make these threats high-level for if and when the PCs reach those levels too.  But I mean if you run the game as an E6... then you wouldn't need those threats to be as high-level as they currently are.  One would just de-power most of them so that they still remain as proportionally more powerful than the PCs as they are right now, except the PCs are now 4th, 5th, or 6th level instead.  So rather than needing to make a Quori that is a credible threat to a 15th level PC... it only needs to be credible to a 5th.But like I said, it's not that big a deal and we've all been working with it all along.  It's more just the setting's one stubbed toe.  But c'est la vie.</blockquote>
