Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 5923385" data-attributes="member: 19675">The thing is, in a world where magic is required to do things like cause fireballs, there are fewer threats to worry about.  In that sense, it's a lot easier to prepare against powerful foes because you'll have fewer of them.In OUR world, anyone you meet can potentially deliver an attack of house-leveling potency.  And, as the shaped charge assassinations (and other mine/IED/drone/missile/etc. attacks) show, the attacker doesn't even need to be close.The modern day leaders solve this by maintaining a certain amount of distance*...which is exactly contra to what a LeShay would want to do in order to maximize the efficacy of his personal abilities...abilities he'll have no reason to distrust.Recruit one suicide bomber to have a HE device surgically implanted...Edit:  thought I'd post a link to the thing if we're going to keep discussing it (in case anyone else was as unfamilar with them as I was):<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Leshay" target="_blank">http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Leshay</a>Interesting...AC 15 if flat footed.Also, while Charm is magical, those outrageous Diplomacy bonuses are not going to mean as much if the target doesn't understand your language- I wouldn't consider any D&D's world languages to correspond with ours, honestly.  (Speedbump, not barrier, to his plans.)* not isolation, just having a lifestyle that includes limitations on where, when and how long they will be exposed with only some armed men for protection.</blockquote>
