Hey, you're the one who listed cash as a solution by inference.

Also, the hierarchy solution still exists. That is, get help there from the organization or an allied organization.

Yeah; a sufficient quantity of cash can solve the problem; you just mentioned "above first" and I was pointing out it can take a little longer than that; even at fairly high levels, you'll feel some of those costs (the costs involved in golems are, incidentally, one of the reasons why Fighters are still handy at higher levels; that 196,000 gp Greater Stone Golem shouldn't be in your wealth allotment until after the fighter can simply Power Attack it to death).

And yes, their are hierarchy solutions - but again; you're looking into NPC's - unless they're pre-established, they exist only if the DM puts them there. Plus NPC's are fickle.

Oh - and Nip/Tuck moved off of Keenspace; you might want to update your signature.

Yeah, my signature is very old.

In my mind, the DM is there to provide a universe that is rational and consistant with the rules. So I would be rather annoyed if the DM just said 'That won't work'.

Given rational and consistant reasons, a rational and consistant solution can be worked out.

True enough - but then you're getting into player creativity - which is a good thing.

Did I miss a memo?

Looks like I did. Ah well. Server closed.

Hmm... wonder what all those "Authentication failed" messages were. Hmm.

Don't forget, D&D tomorrow.

Also, can we run Jack's 3rd level gestalt campaign for a while? Running out of ideas.

OK, setting alarm a bit earlier. Hopefully I won't oversleep again...
