[QUOTE="Nathan Mitchell, post: 7204973, member: 6867841"] At levels 1-4, you're looking at shaping the fate of a village. At levels 5-10, you're looking at shaping the fate of a city. At levels 11-16, you're looking at shaping the fate of a kingdom. At levels 17+, you're looking at shaping the fate of the Material Plane itself. As a DM, you have to scale up with the PCs. This calls for bigger challenges, and not just in combat. We are currently in an epic campaign where we have to traverse the Astral Plane and find a Demiplane with an ancient battlefield that has a fortress in the middle with a being of sentient magical energy that eats time itself. We have to get to and navigate the fortress in a reality where dimensions themselves are in flux, walls and gravity shift seemingly at will.
