In your posts you state that:1 - Due to your own artifact, the only beings in the world able to challenge you are unable to perceive you..meaning you have to seek out the challenges and you only want to do that when you are ready to.2 - The DM, as part of his task to challenge you, has to break some rules to challenge the broken characters you run..... and this surprises you?Honestly, If I were your DM and thought I could step up the pressure on you **   ... I would. Heavily. Brokenly.  And then I would take your stuff. Ao would have her own voidstone. Death himself would come hunting for his negative energy and turn it against you. War would come to get you out of his entertainment with the nations. In short order, you would be the most hunted and scared group of 'deity assassin contenders'. My favorite house rule is that anything the players get, I get. Binding the negative energy plane to you allows you to control undead? Sure!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I would *love* to have a player ask me for that amount of power... and I never have, exactly because they never want me to have that amount of power. {I had a group destroy a ring of Wishes.... awesomeness <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> }   Is that what you want out of the game? Cause that is where it looks like it is going.  {If the DM can keep up, that is} The other option is for the DM to get aggravated and hate running a game where he has no control and the rules hold no safe harbor.Talk to the group about where you want this to go. Perhaps it is best to restart from low level and work back into it.** : See note from [MENTION=424]BlackMoria[/MENTION], he has more time as a DM than I do.. but I run CP2020 and Paranoia, so I could see running this kind of game as a fun, albeit very short term, challenge in which I would expect the PCs to die off from too much curb-stompage. You have set it up so that you can reasonably only encounter those underneath your level or those massively over your level... and nothing in between. All while giving those over your level a very good reason to stomp you before you get to the point of being a danger to them.</blockquote>
