[QUOTE="Shazman, post: 5159725, member: 13509"] For one thing, the famous epic NPC's in FR are not 40th level, not even near it. A few are in the low 20's. I think Elminster is around 26. A lot aren't even epic level. PC's in their mid to upper teens, especially using lots of 3.5 splatbooks, could easily run with them. Exactly why do the PC's have to be the highest level characters on the planet to accomplish anything? Good luck finding a campaign setting where your 1st level PC's are the baddest things in the whole world. All established campaign settings have a number of high level NPC's. The FR ones are just more well known because of the novels. Do the PC's have to be the most powerful beings on the continent to not be so "overshadowed" that they can actually do any adventuring? Do the PC's say, "Well I was going to go save that village, but since I'm first level and there's a 3rd level wizard that lives in that tower over there, I guess I'll just let him take care of it." Really, are the PC's going to be whiny crybabies because they aren't the baddest guys around, or do they suck it up and go do some adventuring? [/QUOTE]
