[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 7446095, member: 6786839"] I ran a druid PC named Agath, whose second or third adventure arc was about helping a barbarian army conquer a city ruled by demon-worshippers. There were side adventures recruiting allies, prep raids on the city's water supply, etc., and eventually the Big Battle. When the dust settled, all of the demons and their high level worshippers were dead or had left town, and the barbarian king held the city. So Agath settled down in the city, and started applying influence. His major project was restoring the barren devastation of the land surrounding the city, by castings of the 8-hour version of Plant Growth. He also could Wildshape into either earth elemental, useful for clearing rubble from the battle into flat ground suitable for rebuilding, or water elemental, useful in a port city (best tugboat ever). He planted vines all round the city walls and then Awakened them, as a perimeter alarm. Then he Awakened a whale (second best tugboat ever, and she worked in exchange for healthcare; for herself, and more importantly, for her calves). Every day, shortly before sunset, he'd use every remaining 1st and 2nd level spell slot for Goodberries, and then provide them to the "food for the hungry" program at the newly-established Good-aligned temples. Feeding 60-100 people per day, single-handedly, helped ease the transition to a new municipal economy, after the arena and the slave trade had been outlawed. There were some oozes and slimes in the sewers under the city, who had flourished under the previous regime, as the arena and the altars resulted in a steady flow of corpse disposal. The druid helped eradicate those, mostly using Sunbeam. Combat, nominally, but not played out as such, as the outcome was not in doubt. The city's law enforcement team, such as it was, under the demon worshipping regime, was mostly made up of blue dragons. Some of them chose to stay on, and work for the new regime; that process involved letting Agath cast Geas on each "recruit", binding them to obeying and enforcing the laws *uniformly* (no taking bribes to look the other way). Also a standing order to report any contacts with anyone from the former regime. All in all, it was a huge project, enough to keep him busy for at least a year, and probably expend many or most of his spell slots (though he'd always keep some in reserve, in case the old regime ever returned for revenge).
