[QUOTE="Ace, post: 707784, member: 944"] Of course. Thats why I mentioned co-opting them. It may not be possible for a gang of six high level PC's to defeat an entire socity but of your society is basically"Midieval England with Wizards" and the effect the wizards have isn't factored in well... The PC's can and will bring that society to its knees. Medieval kings are pretty poor by comparson to D&D types and if you use a realistic economy that doesn't factor in magic there won't be many magic items. Even if you use a level based defense bonus spell casters are at a huge advantage. Here is a nasty trick, Planar Bind a nasty of you chouice and make this deal "I want you to kill the royal family of xyz country in as subtle a manner as possible. In exchange you can take any of the following -- fill in with nomenclatura- and do whatever you want with them. You may not kill anyone else unless they attack you and you may not let your summoned buddies do that either" Most nasties would activly enjoy the chaos and if you are somewhat scrupluous use Slaad instead of Ta'naari just remember to add "anyone you or your buddies infect must be taken back to limbo with you whent he task is done" You have just ruined the royal families quality of life No more hunting in the woods, no playing outside the garden -- Basically they spend the rest of thier lives in fear Societies that have a well integrated magical portion can handle it but I doubt those cultures are feudal I will explain in another post..
