[QUOTE="Ace, post: 3217335, member: 944"] Amusing -- I don't have any functioning monarchies on my campaign world for various reasons. Styles of D&D very but my campaign is Cold War + Cuthulu with an apocolypse just around the corner (and two next week) within the last one hundred years of campaign history there has been a great war verus the undead (which killed half the worlds population) within 60 there was the destruction of the entire population of a nation state by magic Within 10 a single character took down the worlds most powerful empire (well smashed 5 of its cities and killed 75% of its soldiers) Every nation has one or more epic wizards with Colourless Reign of Fire (yes that is the correct spelling) or various Abysal Rippers (these open a hole to a plane filled with war demons that want to kill) or worse -- say Viral Chained Disentegrate Weapons cloaked with non dispelling and non detection spells -- This nasty does 240 points (45 if save vs DC 20) than bounces to a new target -- its guarenteed death for a civilization if used There is also far realms stuff thats much worse than this and it [I] WANTS TO BE USED [I] Now the basic meta logic of the game is as follows There is Good, Evil and Neutral. Default is Neutral. Most (66% maybe) of the population is a Neutral Human member of a NPC class from 3-5th level stats are 3@10, 2@11, 1@12 roughly Power Rewards Power. The more you can have the more you can get Magic Rewards Magic -- The more magic there is the more magic there will be Pressure Builds Power -- Unless you die, the harder you try the faster you get power. There is No Limit Except Age if You Have Will and Opportunity -- Even Age can be Mastered (its hard though) and if you do there are no limits other than Other Wills. Game style very though and thats the key issue -- getting players that match what you want to do. If you do this you will have no shortage of heros[/I][/I] [/QUOTE]
