Rystil Arden said:I think that Living ENWorld has also become our world too, and it will be massively frustrating to me at least as a GM if someone tells me that I can't put in 9th-level NPCs if I want to have 9th-level NPCs for my plotline just because they don't want to allow them. It seems to me, though, thankfully, that the Judges are pretty reasonable about these kinds of things (mostly because I've only seen things that struck me as silly and terribly restraining mentioned by a variety of non-Judges, and when I've asked, the Judges have been helpful about letting me have control as the GM).
I pretty much agree with all of that, with the caveat that I do respect the spirit of the rule. One of my NPC's (the Fey lord) would only be an apropriate challenge for an epic party, but is placed in a manner that he can have only the most minor and indirect impact on LEW. If we ever get to the point where LEW has epic level PCs (in about 2023?) a DM could always make this NPC more active, but he's safely bottled up in the meantime.
And no, (back on track) the Fey Lord's tremendous power does not include any ability to ressurect or reincarnate. I'll make his abilities crystal clear in the almanac when the Faerie Woods is complete.
