Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenes" data-source="post: 4018330" data-attributes="member: 604">Only if said Epic level characters did not spend any thought to build up structures, lines of communications, and trained people - something many epic level characters would have done, or would have in place. I think it's rather limiting to assume that brother Faro, hero of the church of Tyr, spent 20 levels battling monsters, and never helped his chruch build up numbes, trained fellow clerics to the point of them being able to contact him in an emergency, etc.On the contrary - if there are epic level characters with ties to such villages, why wouldn't they keep an eye on it, and swing by and eradicate the orc horde in 1,5 rounds if needed? Or at least make sure there are defenses around to handle orc hordes?Or are NPCs the only ones who can build stuff like mythals, guardian golems, lasting academies and churches, fortresses, fighting schools, etc.?Unless your heroes are busy fighting enemies 24/7, and never get any rest, odds are they will be able to train followers, and equip them. And that means the next generation of heroes won't all have to start as ignorant peasants in a doomed village, but may be able to start armed with the experience and gear of epic level heroes, and their legacy to live up to.</blockquote>
