[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8310596, member: 23751"] Most of those factions might be able to threaten a village or town, at best. Some of them maybe even a city. That one individual can threaten all the villages, towns and cities. He's mobile enough to hit where and when he wants. He basically is a danger to the entire country and rulers know this. Vizier: "My liege, the army stands ready to march on our neighbor to the north." King: "Send the army down the straight road to attack Zemuth." Vizier: "My liege, the Archmage Myt E. lives in a tower near the border there. An army approaching his tower might be taken badly." King: "That's very true. Very well, send the army down the somewhat windy road to attack Plukor. It's almost as juicy as Zemuth. It's also a bit farther from the capitol garrisons, so they will have a harder time responding." Such a PC will have a political impact, even if he never speaks to the government. They have to consider him, even if they ultimately decide to take the risk. [/QUOTE]
