You don't have to resort to the stereotype band of heroes. A 22nd level sorcerer is unlikely to cavorting with them anyway. Perhaps just a trusted assistant or an apprentice, or a small squad of guards to do her bidding. She could even exert some control over these semi-characters.Leadership. Yes, in a variety of ways. She could be leading an army, which is nice backup when you're making a saving throw. But more significantly, you should allow and even require her to take the lead in generating the plot. At her level you're not sitting around waiting to see what the world offers up to you, you're out creating your own destiny. What does she want her character to achieve? Magical research, peace among warring nations, conquest? Make her lay out some plans, then build your story around them. This is a great opportunity for a sort of role reversal: She becomes the wizard that, in most adventures, the PCs are out to stop. Whatever she decides her goals are, create a set of NPCs dead set on stopping her for whatever reason.I don't know if any of this is helpful. I've never read the Epic Level Handbook.CZ</blockquote>
