[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 3806090, member: 5143"] That's not true. I have an inkling. However, if I have the ability to predict the future, travel instantly anywhere in the world, have a network of spies and information gathering in almost every major city in the world and the support of a god(or 15) who are extremely powerful and know most things, then I'm likely going to know where and when important things happen. Now assume that there are a good 20 or 30 people with that level of power and resources in the world. Now, it's easy to assume that these people aren't concerned with any threat in the typical "heroic" range, like anything that would likely be appropriate for level 1-10 characters. Some orcs who pillage a small town or bandits or the like. However, a bunch of them have ties to the major cities such as loved ones who live there, they are the rulers of them, etc. So, they have even more reason to stop things that happen in these areas. So, let's assume there are only 20 people who have the power and inclination to show up wherever they want in the world and help and they'll only help with high level problems. Let's assume 75% of them are taking the day off. So, there are 5 of them "on duty" who can show up due to ties to the area, random chance, being told to go their by their gods/friends, etc. Now, are there more than 5 high level threats that affect Faerun on any given day? And how many of them take more than an hour or two to resolve for 30th level characters? [/QUOTE]
