[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 448812, member: 7177"] I've been trying to figure this out for [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/news/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=38&ttitle=Urbis]Urbis[/URL] as well. Here are some possibilities for high-level PCs: - Try to take over a large city-state (which is harder than it sounds - no matter how tough you are, can you really control a city of several [i]million[/i] people?). - Once you have taken over a city-state, try to fend off others who try to do the same to [i]you[/i] (after all, you have just proven that it can be done...). - Once you are secure in your position (yeah, right...), engage in some really megalomanical projects. Want to build a mile-high [i]nexus tower[/i]? Sure, why not. Want to be the first ruler whose city has a population of more than 10 million inhabitants? Hey, someone [i]has[/i] to be the first. Establish an off-world colony to ensure that a part of humanity lives on after the year 1627 NA? Bodenwald is already working on this, too... I think, the best advice for [i]really[/i] high-level PCs can ironically not be found in any d20 product, but in the [i]Nobilis[/i] RPG. Epic level characters can be quite similar to the Nobilis in many ways - everyone's got half a donzen pet projects, organisations, and hobbies running - and often, their battles will not involve any actual combats, but lots and lots of mind games...
