[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 250709, member: 5834"] All I am saying is they aren't going to find a dungeon suitable to challenge them everyday of the week or as easily as prior levels. If epic level characters go dungeon delving, they might be rescuing a group of lower level heroes from the clutches of death. Or maybe they have decided to venture into some legendary dungeon that no one has returned alive from, thus it is some kind of local event of some reknown for them to even enter the dungeon. Might have people placing bets on their survival, or the entire town their to watch them enter the dungeon. Indiana Jones could well have been an epic level character, but the adventures his movies were based upon involved epic level artifacts and enemies as well. You started off watching one of his easy adventures, then the movie progressed into an adventure of biblical proportions, literally. That is pretty much all I am saying. If they go dungeon delving, it better be one hell of a reknowned dungeon or perhaps some lost temple that has already led to the death of many an adventurer. Epic level characters are the greatest heroes of the world whether you play in Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, or a homebrew world. The actions of epic characters are taken into account before a king would launch an attack on any particular area. For example, the Zhentarim have to plan tactics for Elminster and Storm before they even think about attacking Shadowdale. This is how a DM should think about epic level characters unless they run some kind of strange campaign where everyone is epic. Epic level characters are epic. Their adventures should also be epic.
