[QUOTE="Tomn, post: 5686197, member: 97218"] I once ran across the same problem. The PCs loved my solution. The 21st level commoner in question owned the finest tavern in the entire continent. It was called "the Golden Pitchfork", and was named after an actual golden pitchfork hung over the bar. The pitchfork had a magic aura so strong, even noncasters could sense it (though just barely). It was a gift to the commoner from Wee Jas, in return for serving her in a war between the gods (hence the epic level). Among other things, the pitchfork allowed the casting of [I]Miracle[/I] once per year. The commoner was actually one of the power centers of the city, what with the influence he had over anyone at the tavern, and what with all the commoners looking up to him, and he was married to the head of the Wizard Guild. If anyone broke the rules of his tavern (no fighting, no stealing, no mind magic, etc.), he would toss them out himself. If things got really rowdy, he'd take down his pitchfork. At one point during the campaign, he caught a vampire trying to dominate someone. The vampire was out on the streets before he knew what hit him. On the other hand, his bar is somewhat like a sanctuary, since not even the High Noble's soldiers are brave enough to start anything in his tavern. As long as you don't break the rules, you can stay. If you do break the rules, even if you're a Paladin attacking a Balor (assuming the Balor hasn't broken any rules), you're thrown out before it can amount to anything. [/QUOTE]
