[QUOTE="kennew142, post: 4057181, member: 18490"] Without posting any spoilers for fans of the novels, I believe that events leave open the possibility that he may be able to survive. I have always disliked the idea of numerous high level NPCs roaming around the world. IMC the player characters are qualitatively different from NPCs. Much like in Eberron, an NPC does not gain xp in the same ways that a PC does. A veteran of many battles may not be a 1st level warrior, but nor will he be a 10th level fighter. NPC wizards spend their time practicing their craft to earn a living or to protect the kingdom from behind the scenes. NPC clerics tend their flocks, intercede with the divine powers and perform the rituals that are required by their religion. PCs form into commando bands to sneak into monster filled territory and take the battle to them. IMO establishing adventurer as a career practiced by numerous NPCs all over the world was the single worst mistake the designers ever made in FR (or in any campaign world). [/QUOTE]
