I can read someone else's post about CR 23 Winterwights and soiling themselves.  So either tell me why people facing Winterwights shouldn't crap their capri's, or face up to the concept that drama and conflict can exist just as much in a high magic, high level game as in a low magic, low level game. Either way, people are either darn good at forcing pegs into holes or you just haven't had a set of experiences conducive to realizing that it's not a square peg. In my perspective, once you reach high levels, there's more at stake here than just your piddly little lives. You may be heroes, but not everyone is, and it is the world your are trying to save, not just your own asses. Failure can come in flavors without a gravestone, after all. That is the challenge of high levels and high magic -- you're not fighting skeletons who are coming through the town, the farmers and constubalry cna fight them just as well. You're putting an end to the *origin* of the skeletons, a necromancer who knows where you live and brings the battle to your doorstep and does not relent.  This is, in my opinion, a *lot* more dramatic and emotional than Dwarfy McDrunkenpants and his daily struggle against the powerful orcish horde. When you have to use the powerful magic at your disposal just to protect the ones you love, who are now depending upon you as a hero to rescue them, and the ones who die blame you as a hero for not rescuing them.</blockquote>
