[QUOTE="Longdale, post: 51471, member: 2404"] What we have done traditionally is play ye ole standard dnd to about 21st-22nd level. At this point we feel we are "epical" although that is left to debate... What do we do? At this point the dnd aspect as in fight fight fight takes more and more of a smaller role to political intrigue, running of nations, and vieing for power. Some charecters don't want to rule a country, that's for sure. But even clerics become the "Pope" and have duties that can be fun. Go to this town, throw down a monarch, excommunicate a couple evil peeps. All fun. And for epic fights it's usually quite rare they are really challenging. We keep the game fun... imagine 30 level 1-5 charecters against two 22-25. It's fun to play... But there are some things we still do. For instance we (my epic group) took on the "council of chromatics"... a ruling council of chromatic dragons cr 17-22. There were about 5 fights (PC's and wurms dieing) before the adventure was done (over 2 months). The wurms retreated from the territory they took over, and fun was had by all... There are also the planes. See how long 25th level charecters last trying to "bust up" hell... even it has it's generals. Longdale Birthright type play... that's epical fun. 25th level Cleric who runs a "fanatical zealot" country. [/QUOTE]
