It just needs a series of factions with enough weight behind them to curtail the activities of the bold and reckless to a limited degree. A set of unwritten rules, that provide a modicum of balance that encourages enough calm for "business as usual." Using a multitude of factions (not just two), enables underhanded politics to hold sway over those who would become too obviously powerful.Problem 2: Good Epic level NPCs have their own concerns to deal with. Seriously this cannot be an issue, or ultimately the Celestials and Divinities would be running around handling "plot devices the PC's fail to handle." Same argument applies. They are busy with their own agendas.Problem 3: Are your epic level characters really worrying about where they are getting their fish!?? Its in the sea, someone goes out and drags it back to shore. Or an Epic Level Magician likes sushi so drains the sea bed of water, and sends children out to pick the fish up. The surplus after his sushi dinner they can keep. Its not that great a concern.The problem is the high level NPC commoner. An oxymoron.</blockquote>
