[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 396315, member: 1125"] Your point being? There have been a number of CHild-Monarchs in Earths history who were effective rulers (or grew up to be such) Alexander the Great was 15, Elizabeth 1 was a young Queen and Tutankhamun was I beleive 13. During the reign of Ghengis Khan (who despite being feared by Millions was loved by his own Mongol clansmen) it was said that a single unarmed girl could carry a bag of gold along the Khans Road without fear. According to marco Polo crimne was unknown in the MongolEmpire during the Great Khans rule In DnD Elves stay children for 101 years, they do not sleep and are pratically immortal. SO your point is? By my count thats 17 characters forming her elite army if we say cast them as say Level 20 PCs 4 Fighters, 4 Wizards, 4 Clerics, 4 Rogues and 1 Bard. Now Queen Anne failed her her attempt on Oz and so turned on the Gnome king and his 50,000 warriors (say level 1 - 7 warriors, with the King being Level 15) The PCs make mince meat of the gnomes! I'm afraid that once DnD goes highlevel and Epic level even then it too fails the test of believability and you just have to accept that its all make believe. The older one gets they more they need to beleive in order to remain sane - we have to believe the sun will rise, that we are safe in our homes and that we will make it through another day, the difference is that children have a much easier time staying sane:) Of course by the time [i]one can no longer do it at all[/i] then generally Alzhiemers has set in and sanity is no longer an issue:P... I don't think the suspension of disbelief is different in either case, only the amount of candyfloss and intellectual effort required to rationalise them [/QUOTE]
