[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 3827771, member: 16991"] My world has a hard limit of level 20. I have once DMed a party that reached 19th level. Monsters at that level were found in remote locals and forbidden demonic-dominated empires seperated from the rest of civilization. There was a cluster of 15-18th level NPCs that were trying to end the world, the least of which were a pair of Imperial Govenors in the above empire. (the emperor was rumored to a)be a demon, 2) a god 3) non-existant figurehead created by Arcoloth lawyers. The Arcoloth lawyers were real enough. At that point there were few bigger fish in the world - Demon Princes and Elemental Lords of Evil were involved but they got handwaved so that they could project cr20 avatars, and destroying one of these could cripple them for many centuries (which had happened in the worlds legends) but killing one was as impossible as killing a god. There were a few legendary monsters such as a nightcrawler which was said to lurk gnawing the roots of a haunted forest (explored @lvl 8). It was rumored to have devorerd everyone who challanged it. The PCs went after it @lvl14, lost a PC to permant death and fled, never to return. If they had gone back and killed it after a few levels, they might have managed it. However it would have wrecked a society, which unknowingly had a dune-like dependance on the Crawler. Dragons living in the depths of the ocean, and the farthest reaches of the world got involved in the lives of the PCs. The PCs killed a number of thier own rivals, partcipating in au unprovoked miltary coup of a country run by wizards (13th-15th). They visted Plane of Earth, Para-elemental Magma border realm, the (etherial-like) Plane of Dreams, Plane of Shadow (alot), an Ice plane in the Abyss, and the celestial realm. [/QUOTE]
