It can make a different story, and if everyone sits down and decides that they WANT that style of story, it can be fun. But the 5-Man Band exists for a reason, and it isn't because the chosen lord and his retainers is a better story. Also, it isn't even difficult to make a group of people who are full of special protagonist juice. Aurora by Red has a Godly Avatar given Sentience, the Chosen of a Primordial being, a hypermage who got infected with a DIFFERENT primordial being of destruction, and a person with the ability to turn into the embodiment of fire (no idea if that is ANOTHER primordial yet). Sure, they have a mortal "average" dude, who is hyper-tough, regenerates, and is a great thief. He is also the only character with common sense, considering most of the rest of the cast invovles hermits, scholars, and people born last month. This is not a difficult thing to do. Heck, the Justice League as a concept is exactly like this. A collection of Protagonists banding together to defeat greater foes.</blockquote>
