[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9859323, member: 93670"] You've gravely misunderstood what The Archfey are. That fix you describe is likely a minor fey at best because The Archfey are entities like [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon']Lord/Emperor Oberon[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Mab#:~:text=Queen%20Mab%20is%20a%20fairy,the%20Queen%20of%20the%20Fairies.']Queen Mab[/URL], & [URL='https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Titania']Queen Titania[/URL]. To put it into scale, one of those links goes to the fr wiki and another of them is a real world individual of the wild hunt myth who started out as Odin. [URL='https://youtu.be/zWVcIn7Q4Cc?si=oci277ZNd4QevyZ1']The Devil [B]came[/B] [B]up to Boston[/B][/URL] with Sully is a better analog to the behavior of player controlled PCs in d&d than down to Georgia, but it is an absolutely horrific example story to base anything in d&d on because single player d&d is rarely the norm and the gm needs to remain fair to all of their players while also credibility playing extremely supernaturally skilled beings who need to convincingly exist within the world as more than the punchline for Bob's latest warlock self insert slashfic where devil went down to/came up to level dopes are reasonable NPCs for Bob's Main Character. Carrying a link to entities like The Archfey might be a total non-issue in a railroad chain of modules/hardcover adventure where PCs are pretty much welded to the module boundaries. That quickly starts to change & "well if you're the type of gm who.." is no longer applicable as things move more towards sandbox play though. That shift occurs because the nature of a sandbox means that the PC is carrying that link and can make use of it in ways that are simply not possible while chained to a series of potentially connected modules [/QUOTE]
