[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9221705, member: 4348"] It depends on what they choose. Their actions WILL matter, but HOW they matter will depend on various factors. For example, a group of 2nd level characters decide the bank to rob is the royal treasury which is overseen by a 20th level Wizard, a 19th Level Warlock, and an army of guards. When they try to rob it they are discovered and killed in quick order. How did their actions matter...their choices got them ALL killed in short order. Another group of 1st level characters decide to rob the local rural banks treasury payment. They plan it out and waylay the coach carrying the payment in a unoccupied portion of the forest on the trail there. They kill the 4 guards and take the money. Now the Local Baron is sending a governor out to investigate what happened to the money, the local bank owner is hiring some mercenaries to hunt whoever stole the money down, and there is a Bounty Hunter/Investigator sent out from the Treasury to figure out the who did the crime. These are the results of their actions. Their actions matter as long as their is a logical result from their actions. If they don't consider anything less than nation shaking or empire shaking events to be the impact of their actions, well...until they are extremely high level...that's not a realistic result in my opinion in general regards to what they are occupied in doing.
