For example, if a uber-epic campaign starts out with a group of 100th-level characters, and the campaign's arch-villain was, say, a First one of CR 500 (I'm just taking a wild guess here), at normal game-play, it would take that group decades to reach a level where they could challenge that villain with any hope of winning (unless the DM was the mother of all Monty Haulers).The problem, as I see it, is that the challenge ratings will no longer grow by just a factor of 1 as the group rises, but by larger and larger amounts (that's how I'm assuming the book works at any rate) for such mighty beings...but the style of gaming assumes that you gain levels singly and slowly at any and every point during the campaign.On a related note, will the IH have enough of a variety of beings to keep these campaigns viable at such a wide range of high levels? Just covering CRs 20-10,000 means a lot of monsters will be needed for all those CRs, and when you factor in that just having one or two monsters per CR-range isn't enough ("Yawn, another Horror From Beyond the Void?" "Hey, it's the only CR 480 monster the book has okay?!")...that's expecting quite a bit from this.</blockquote>
