My game tends toward combat-light, but when combat does happen I like it to be significant, and it's not all that uncommon for players to face 50,000 to 200,000 XP worth of enemies. Last time I checked, the daily adventuring XP budget for 4 20th level characters was only 160,000 XP.As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that 5E needs to in order to run high-level campaigns is good tool support. (Which I'm working on.) Currently it's a little bit of a pain to have e.g. 20 Githyanki, 3 Onis, and a Beholder in play at the same time as four PCs. (That's 83,100 XP, well above the 50,800 XP Deadly Threshold.) It's doable, even on a whiteboard, but it's not easy, mostly because there is so much state to manage.It's possible that tools like Roll20/Fantasy Grounds already address this issue.But there's no dearth of monsters that can be used in 20th level adventures. Creating 20th+ level encountersis so easy to do you can do it accidentally. <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=":-)" /></blockquote>
