[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 3833510, member: 1003"] Probably the same way a chubby rent-a-cop arrests Chuck Norris - Chucks lets him put the cuffs on because, even though he could kill the rotund fool with one hand, the consequences of such an action are unacceptable. As a simple example, my wife's 8th level assassin character in my current campaign can kill any Guardsman in Waterdeep, but she isn't interested in banishment from the city, so she doesn't. But that's neither really here nor there; I already conceded that the 15th level "Man with no name" really is a bit of a loose wrecking ball - but that's the difference between "The King can do nothing" and "the King can really piss me off." You totally missed my point. The 15th level group simply can't kill all the orcs before the orcs totally sack, loot, rape and pillage their way through the Kingdom. It just doesn't matter that the PC's can kill them eventually ("Just hold still, darn it!"), the PC's simply don't have enough hours in the day to do it themselves. And what is this "Rest and reload spells" you speak of? Are the Orcs giving the PC's a break to recup out of some sense of fair play, or are the PC's Teleporting away to safety for 8 hours, leaving the Kingdom defenseless in the mean time? [/QUOTE]
