'cause you just can't swing a dead cat without hitting epic heroes in most fantasy settings . . .Epic heroes taking epic quests are not common occurences.  They happen every couple of millenia or so . . . it just so happens that the current epic heroes out to slay Tiamat permanently are the player characters!And as another poster pointed out, just because you have the physical or magical power to kill someone, doesn't mean you will or it's simply "that easy".  All I need is a knife to kill a person (in fact, I don't really even need that).  But yet, I never have (even though I do think there are people out there who probably deserve it).  And it probably wouldn't be as easy as walking up to them and just hacking away.  And if I did pull it off, there would be repercussions.  It's not any different at the divine level.  Bahamut might think offing Tiamat sounds like a great idea, and he certainly could take on those crazy epic quests himself and then take on Tiamat personally . . . but would it really be just "that easy" for him?  Only if the DM is a poor storyteller . . .</blockquote>
