This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

4e Paragon or Epic?

A mysterious island rises from the waves. The first that the PCs know of it is when a tidal wave hits the small port they are staying in. They must fight to survive this catastrophe. When the tide retreats, the town is in a bad way. The survivors look to the adventurers to determine the source of this disaster – which leads them to the craggy shores of the new island. Manta-riding humanoids, the huge Stoneborn, and Sandcrabs await them. The interior of the island holds the Citadel of the Ascendant – the stronghold of the Wavelords. This cabal of powerful wizards have arisen from the ocean depths to conquer the upper land and cover it all in the water of the sea. Their visage is that of the alien deep-sea creature – barnacle covered shells meld with their backs, multiple shrimp like arms sprout from their chests and evil eyes gaze out from their mottled humanoid faces.    

Can the PCs stop the Wavelords' plan to cover all in water?

Definitely go with a blue deck, and some white to keep your health up.  :)

I would say mid-Paragon, no lower.  That is some region-spanning danger, at a minimum.  Could easily go to world-spanning, depending on your plans.

Yeah. I was thinking paragon, but the forces involved are pretty epic. Maybe 14th-16th level.

Looking forward to doing the 'tidal wave survival' skill challenge. :greatcthulhu:
