[QUOTE="Doug McCrae, post: 5314847, member: 21169"] FR's NPCs are higher level. If you compare the 83 World of Greyhawk to gray box FR, the top Greyhawk NPCs are level 10-20 while those in the FR are 20-30. There's even, iirc, a level 32 NPC in the gray box, a lich. Also, as is often the case in rpg worlds, a lot of the weird stuff in Greyhawk such as the crashed spaceship, is hidden away, encountered by the PCs but not by the general populace. Actually this is often true of fictional worlds too. Middle-Earth is a low magic place but the protagonists in LotR encounter pretty much every powerful supernatural being (except Sauron) and magic item around at the time - The One Ring, the palantirs, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, the balrog, Shelob, the Nazgul, Saruman, Tom Bombadil, etc. [/QUOTE]
