[QUOTE="akbearfoot, post: 4554627, member: 33560"] seems off to me also so hear there are no NPCs above 10th level, yet there is some humongous evil conquering the world....just seems sort of stagnant to say that there is noone else around who is actively seeking ways to thwart it. I mean I can respect wanting to control/limit access to magic items and spells, but when you give the PCs free access to basically anything they want then it throws game balance and perspective completely out of whack. In my mind there is not a paladin or cleric of a non-evil diety in the 'world' that would or could tolerate the presence of a lich...period....a vampire maybe...but the paladin or cleric goes 'detect evil' and gets hit by an aura of overwhelming evil. Also its actually kind of cute, but entirely unreasonable to me that a lich would get doll as a phylactery. Even more unreasonable that he would give it to a child and not keep constant tabs on it....I mean everyone knows Barack obama stole the Hope diamond to make it his Phylactery, but still....lol And 10th level cleric with the Sun domain with an amulet of undead turning and a couple feats and spells, can turn undead of around 20HD probably even more, and automatically destroy them. A Hunter of the Dead would require a few more levels than you say your NPCs are allowed to have, but their main special ability is when they kill an undead it is destroyed permanently...even liches.
