How many really high level NPC have we seen in the boxed set prior to the From the Ashes boxed set?  Not many were active. Especially priests. 9th level was usually the norm. Canon Hazen was a notable exception.  Most other priest stopped around level 9 to 11. How many powerful mages? Not a lot, but still a bit more numerous than clerics. Compare that to the FR and Greyhawk is far behind in availability of high level casters.And do not get me wrong, you can always add a very high level opponent to face your PCs, that is why we play afterall, but at the same time, it this exact reason why I feel Greyhawk has so much more interesting. It was malleable enough that it could be adjusted for any campaign style. Countries were defined enough to give you an excellent idea on how to run them, but vague enough so that you could make them your own. It this versatility that I have always liked.</blockquote>
