Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 715029" data-attributes="member: 277">The world would have as many different governments as ours does.The gods would cancel each other out unless you are planning Ragnorock.High level Pc will mostly be cancelled by high level NPC's.IMC Star City has a population over 100,000 people with continual flame lit roads, clean fountains etc. Of course it is against the law to cast dispell magic around most city property.Star City is monarchy.Hartsford is democracy town of 5,000 people and my current players who just got awarded citizenship.  They 6th to 8th level and about to surpase the 10th level npcs. Good thing yes. Bad thing is they have used up all the town's ressurrection and regen scrolls. Near Hommlet is the territory of Green Thumb. Who rules the land just by a shake down of some people there. But not everyday. He also kills off any group approaching 14th level. And has a great spy network. And a couple of side businesses.if you check the dmg city table you will find not many people above 10th.  So if you don't change the numbers (which I have) once the pc have move pass 10th level they are shakers and movers. But if they want to be challenge higher ranking foes have to appear. You have to make some decisions. I left the magic level alone. But since I convert my campaign from 1st, then 2nd a lot of power are in some places. And in other places 3rd levels are gods.You could have a global ecomony with teleporting circles rings etc but anything made by magic can be destroyed by magic.  That depends on you and your group.You also have decide whether magic items rust or decay. Yes I know gold does not rust but bear with me.  IMC magic items unless protected by spells can destoryed. Toss the wand, rod, staff into the fireplace and bye bye wand. Heat up the gold piece with continual flame on it and get a lump of gold with some ex-magic power.It will depend on what magic level your world has. And go from their. Yes Mt St helens can still blow kill the villiage of Pompeii but it could be wished back by the adventurers.Oh one of my players was mad recently when I told him, yes the town judge did thank him for taking out the thieves guild, he still had to pay a fine for unlicense burglarly tools. And that his new set would be check and he would be questioned yearly under a truth spell. He was also surprise a town would hang thieves even thou they were kill in combat.All the arguements for and against the pcs' as mover and shakers are right. They can destory armies and stuff as long as the other side is light in adventurers supply.  But when they get powerfull enought to take out the 101st Airborne single handly, do they want to, how much x.p. is that, and will dogs still raise their legs on them.</blockquote>
