[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5880107, member: 22779"] You can do this in 3e. There's absolutely no reason you can't do this in 3e. About the biggest difficulty from an adventure design standpoint is the amount of work it takes to make 14th level NPC's. Not my idea of a fun time, but, it's certainly doable. What 3e would generally have a problem with is all the world implications. If you play 3e in a certain way, and I believe there are people here who do - where the rules of the game have a fairly direct correlation to the in-game reality, then scaling NPC's doesn't make any sense. After all, just how did you get 20x12th level fighters in your city guard? Why aren't they ruling the city? Look at the reaction to that Epic level city in the the Epic Level Handbook for 3e. Union it was called IIRC. 20th level city guards and artisans and whatnot. It was 3e with the dial cranked up. I don't think it was well received at all and I think most people have just blanked it out of their mind that it even exists. :D I think you'd run into the same reaction if you tried to posit a city where the archers on the walls are double digit level fighters.
