[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 1261180, member: 2067"] So they don't want to take over the world, eh? What if someone *does*? Maybe one of their captains or generals gets delusions of graduer in his head (that the lich-king can use, even!), and turns against them...give them the Crew PrC (so that they know all the PC's best tricks!), and see what kind of rebellious army they can amass....having the NPC's who were once loyal suddenly turn against you ('cuz you ain't got the balls to RULE, yo!) could be a dispiriting thing for 'em. Or worse, what if the good guys do....think about what would happen if the Church of Cuthbert suddenly stepped up it's recruitment regiment, washing over the face of the world, and hating the PC's the entire way. Suddenly, no haven is safe...could lead to a good ol' fashioned god-bashing (you've got stats for those deities, time to put 'em to use! :)). And what if they're given a challenge even bigger and more evil than they are...maybe one of the council bloods from Union thinks that the general rule that 21st+ level characters don't interefere with material plane matters is stupid...so he does. And in a big way. Who's going to stop him? Everyone else in Union's too scared to interfere, but they can't let him run rampant over the world unchecked! And, of course, destinies work two ways. So one of the PC's was chosen by Fate? I wonder where his counterpoint is....perhaps some old, venerable seer comes and visits them one day, and leaves a cryptic message about a Child of Law and Justice that will be the PC group's undoing. They could spend the next 18+ YEARS trying to find this brat and kill him off. He's protected by powerful good, and hidden from the eye of evil wherever possible. He's the last hope of the just and the pure on the world, and they want to make sure he makes it to being a challenge....if you want to weird them out even more, have it be the rebellious child of one of the PC's themselves....that kid they thought they were teaching the ways of wickedness and depravity secretly yearns for chastity and innocence, and will do everything in his power to protect the cute fuzzy bunnies of the world! Of course, the forces of good know this...and perhaps a few of the enemies of the PC's who aren't good know it too (just because the kid's good doesn't mean the evil bashers can't use his destructive potential to their own advantage...if he wins, that's one less obstacle in their own bid for power...if he looses, well, they're no worse off....). There's a few plans for ya. :) [/QUOTE]
