Total Annhilation of both sides, perhaps only a few survivors?Imagine, a ill-worded wish here, several dozens summoned undeads whose summoner died in the wrong moment, uncontrolled constructs, summoned outsiders (who says the clerics are good? Chances are great that they are lawful neutral, and just one step, you have demons. Or another step, and you have some paladins...), meteor swarms devastating cities, armies out of control, Dragons unpleased with the outcome of certain events, the one or the other major artifact used, some divine interventions. Maybe such a war would be the last war for a very long time... Oh, but to another thing: Do you believe, that in the real world, it were only a few men and women who really "changed" the world, or was it the humanity at whole? Was the French Revolution the result of a few guys at the right place, could only Napoleon be a powerful conquerer? Without Hitler, wasn`t there a Second World War? Without Einstein, wouldn`t we have the relativistic theory?At least two of the things I know some answers: 1) Einstein wasn`t the only one to develop this theory, there was at least one other person who thought of it - but Einstein was first to present it. 2) Here in Germany, the "doctrine", if you wish, is that the 2WW, and the genocide against the jewish people is a collective guilty - this does also mean that if there wasn`t hitler, than someone else would "have done the job". I tend to believe that it is the humanity at whole that makes the decision what happens in history, not single persons. The interesting question is: Does this apply to Dungeons & Dragons? If yes: Maybe than it is not a question of the high level heroes, it is a question of the common people.If no (hey! Do you know any high level heroes?): Than it might not only be important if there are any high level heroes, it is also important to know WHO it is.</blockquote>
