[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8802716, member: 67338"] It depends. In history, or in novels where they are just characters to hear about they are MAJOR assets "The legendary daughters of the goddess and the amazing adventures they had 1,000 years ago" or "The legendary daughters of the goddess and the amazing story told in this alt not cannon novel" In play and in the setting you are expected to play in you have to be real careful to keep it to a minimum. If you have 7 powerful forces for good in the world that can be an issue, but most DMs can work around it. If you have 10 powerful forces of good in the world it gets worse, and each more you add makes it worse still... I remember way back when in 2e people at cons used to tell horror stories of DMs that really wanted to write a novel, or DMs with 1 or 2 powerful NPCs that overshadowed the players... that is with 1 or 2, 7 or 8 is already making it hard not to happen, and it feels like the FR is a place you can't throw a rock and not hit a chosen of XXXXX or an archmage... and half the big named characters are BOTH, [/QUOTE]
