Grenade Salad
An adventure for levels 3-10 and 17.
This right there? This is why nobody plays high-level games.
You can still save the kingdom as a party full of evil bastards. Baron van Dyne can’t usurp the crown with the aid of an army of elven barbarians, because the crown is not his to steal. It’s mine.
Just like any party, you need a motivation that’s compatible with cooperation and the narrative in some capacity. The only difference is that in stereotypical ‘good’ parties, players can just default to ‘save the kingdom because it is Right’ rather than having to think about it.
Find Steed needs some polishing, but I have to push back on the ‘don’t write rules that mean anything’ position. Content that gives no guidance on how things are supposed to work is a stone nightmare when edge cases and interactions come up. This is just a bad first draft, not a bad idea, and half of what makes it bad is that it references and doesn’t update the mounted combat stub.
You’re conflating two different questions into one. ‘Is there a time to punch a Nazi,’ and ‘If we study Nazis, can we figure out how to stop people from turning into Nazis that subsequently require punching.’ I’m personally of the opinion that the answer to both is yes. There is absolutely a point in understanding evil because, as we are having so comprehensively demonstrated, Nazis are not a one-time problem. Letting things get to the stage where punching is required has consequences.
