Subversion of characters is often far worse than death. The worlds most powerful paladin is likely to be far more worried by the prospect of falling from grace than simply dying? Sepulcrave has several great examples of this sort of fear in his story hour...One of the plots in Morrus game is a plague that has been eating away at the magic/magic users of the players home kingdom... it hasn't affected any PCs yet, but is a rather scary prospect for a high magic game?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> Needs urgent sorting out.I agree that some politiking adds hugely to any game... but is particularly interesting in a 'high' magic game.I think consequences of player actions are important. The players are hugely powerful in a high level game. I think the knock on effects of their actions can be interesting.For example. What if a group of players killed a bunch of evil ratmen and the unintended side-effects unleashed the full power of the White Kingdom? They're kind of obligated to sort that sort of mess out?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Edit: High magic, normal magic. Bah! Labels are difficult - I guess I mean 'default' magic without too much nerfing. Sloppy thinking is never good.</blockquote>
