[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 9553247, member: 9254"] It depends on what the other forces in the cosmos are like. The default theory in d&d is that while mountain-leveling gods/demons/elementals exist, they are somehow inhibited from entering the "kid zone" of mortals. Is it like Eberron, where these powerful types are running around closing gates and stomping on kyber incursions before they establish foothold? Or maybe its the Eberron of the War, where regions fight their neighbors, using these Tier4 individuals as the fantasy version of the Invaders (a marvel comic team set in ww2 fighting the Nazis). It could be a more ww2 setting, with the Red Wizards of Thay or the Scarlet Brotherhood as the perennial force of destruction. Maybe it's more "alien invasion" with Yuan-ti, Iuz or Aboleth trying to enslave the demihumans. And then there's the 'things from beyond" that want to slip through cracks in reality to perform origami on our merely Euclidean geometry. Earthdawn takes a variant of the latter two, with Horrors desiring to feast on Namegiver torment combined with magic that, by any rights, should be weaker than it is and could weaken at any time. This distracts the Tier4s from establishing their own supposed Utopia and instead focusing on just keeping things from eating the sun. [/QUOTE]
