Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 5873241" data-attributes="member: 9037">Inexperienced PCs need to be more careful which is why they are cautious and realize that at this point they don't have the skills, magic or training to fight a red dragon. And yes it makes sense that a more trained group will have a better chance living if they take on a red dragon. But it is not a guarantee. It is still a threat just not one with no hope of success.But a PC does not know that all the city guard can be beaten simply because they are a lower level. Or that the King can't defend himself because of he is only a low level noble.I am not talking pig farmers here I am talking city guard who deal with trouble makers every day and have skill with weapons. Just because they are not out adventuring does not mean that PCs should just just brush them off.Like I said in a game like Shadowrun law enforcement, private security can be a match for the runners. It will never be come I am so high level I don't have to worry if there are ten Lone Star officers with smart guns pointed at me they can't hit me because I am now Superman. I know some people like that kind of game I don't. I want the PCs to get stronger and be able to take on more threats like fight an ancient wyrm. I want the fighters to be the swordsmen of legend who took on a dozen or so bad guys and won. A mage who can stop time and call down meteor storms on armies. But I don't want it to be silly. Where one mage can wipe out an army of 10,000 men.The way a lot of high level PCs act I would think that those in power would find a way to neutralize them before they became that big of a threat.</blockquote>
