[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 3928465, member: 40961"] The idea that "better things to do" or "apathy" or "fighting other enemies" works when the party is being contracted to do escort duty for a caravan, or clean up the sewers. It doesn't work so well when an army of invading orcs is threatening to burn down the city where the epic level characters live. I like how some many people advise handling high level NPCs by not using them. There... isn't much of a step between "you shouldn't use these high level NPCs, you're crazy if you do, its bad DMing if you let them wreck your game," and "Hey, I have an idea, lets just not have them in the setting at all!"
