[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5574949, member: 29398"] a) agreed. b) agreed. c) the rationale is, of course, that the BBEG has been training these guys for years and-or they've gained their levels by raiding the countryside and generally being bad guys...or they're just mercenaries and the BBEG pays 'em really well! I've no problem with this one provided they're 10th level regardless of whether the PCs are 5th level or 15th level when they meet 'em. d) I'll disagree here. Consider this: right now your PCs are out in the field gettin' it done, and in a few years they'll be 10th, 15th, 20th level. Then they'll retire from adventuring...and in 25 years what will they be? Yep, those very same stay-at-home high-levels you say you don't like. In other words, the stay-at-home high-level nobles and clerics and wizards of today are just yesterday's field adventurers enjoying a well-earned retirement. e) agreed, particularly re towns that are quite capable of doing it themselves but get the PCs to do it anyway...unless, of course, the town's motive is to get the PCs killed... >cackle< Lan-"there's always a bigger fish, only sometimes it doesn't look like a fish"-efan [/QUOTE]
