[QUOTE="Cyberhawk, post: 4003407, member: 11110"] One thing you may want to consider is that the while the PCs are low-level they're nobodies. They can go "under the radar" so to speak to find out information the big guys can't handle. This is especially good if you have competing political entities in your world..Kingdom A might be a little miffed if Kingdom B sends its Paladins over the border. This would be especially true if Kingdom A and B had a war not too long ago. Also while the big demon army is the big super threat there are plenty of little things that are going on the PCs should be able to handle. Cultists trying to corrupt a small village...monster taking advantage of the Paladins going off to fight the demons..etc. Not only do you have the PCs handling things, they're gaining levels/magic but they also keep appraised of your major campaign arc. And last remember that the big NPCs are famous. The bad guys are going to have plans for them. This could be a great way to build excitement in your mid-campaign. "hey guys, guess what? While you were away a group of dragons came in and toasted the high church. Uber-NPC A is dead. So is B. And C." All of a sudden the PCs are very important people. And hopefully at this point they have enough power of they're own that they can handle the responsibility. [/QUOTE]
