[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8952963, member: 84112"] Stakes don’t have to be directly life or death. They can be losing political power or capital or losing an Allie. Way back when Becky ran her first 5e game (been running since we had a series of 5 duchess and baron controlled lands and a capital region controlled by the seneschal. We were working for the king to find out if there was any truth to the rumor that there was a plot to overthrow him… we had to travel to (so sometimes run into random encounters) each region and use out titles and personal power to get an audience and a read on each noble. Some of these had lesser lords in their courts. Some had cleric or arcane caster advisors. All had military power. At no point in the early game (until we found the master sword lie) did we think our lives were EVER in danger. We still had a lot of RP and skill and even spell use to get through challenges.
