[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2974554, member: 22779"] Now, this confuses me. I've been told time and time again that earlier edition campaigns didn't feature large numbers of high level NPC's. Yet, here I'm being told that finding a 14th level cleric to cast restoration is no problem. Never mind that he's going to be aged 12 years bringing Bob back up to scratch or the umpteen thousand gold its going to cost. I can simply go out and find Father Generic without any problems. Agreed. THe campaign won't die because one PC does. But, that's the trick. The PC didn't die. If he died, things would be a whole lot simpler. However, now Bob has a character that is effectively useless. So, we'll make him a henchman and bring in a new 6th level character for Bob. Am I the only one who has problems with this? "Uhh, yeah, sorry Bob, you got hit twice by that spectre. You get to stay in the back and carry the torch. THis other guy who we just met is going to get your share of the treasure from now on." :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
