[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 5681136, member: 36349"] [b]Okay what would you do?[/b] Interesting let's assume that you were planning such a game how would you handle it? What level limit would you impose? Would you have them use npc character levels at all say if it was to explain why they were where they are? What magical equipment would you tolerate? Say they could have a suit of magical armour say no more than +3-+4 in total, perhaps a magical shield if they can use it, one or more magical weapons, would you use the limitations present in the pathfinder core rules or have your own method of what would be allowed? Most importantly if you had to devise a storyline for this setting how would you start? For example the PCs are the secret heads of various orders in the city, as said previously one is a cleric, one a wizard, one a rogue and one a fighter controlling the respective orders their control is limited since there is obviously noble families present they cannot completely control nor wipe them out since they would unite to fight them and that would be catastrophic to their plans therefore they plan carefully using their assassins' to pit each noble family against each other however there are other factors involved say an ancient lich has awakened and is seeking to resume control over the city and they find themselves to be the only ones who can fight it but whilst doing this they need outside help to complete this task perhaps even have them decide this is a better path than dominating the city since obviously whoever is in charge will ultimately be the first one slain when the next would be conqueror comes along or perhaps they try to ally with the lich well how would you handle it?
