[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 309851, member: 1213"] I've actually thought about this before. They are all pretty high level in this, b/c this is as of the end of season 6. Buffy: I'd consider the slayer a non-classed monster, or at least a template. She does not improve that much in fighting ability, and it seems that all slayers fight in extremely similar ways and are virtually exact matches for each other (reference: the buffy v kendra fight, esp.) Dawn: Rogue 1-2. Fond of using Hide, Move Silently (both almost every episode), Use Magical Device (such as trying to use the raise dead "scroll"), tumble (avoided aoo stealing that monsters egg in the raising mom episode, and when trying to move through the zombies square in the s6 finale), sneak attacks (staking Justin, backstabbing the zombie). Might develop additional powers soon, will gain much power this season, if not slayerdom. Giles: Fighter1/Rogue2/Bard 7/Loremaster 4: This guy has to be decently high level because he has been some types of "adventurer" for many years (besides, killing Glory prolly was worth a level in itself). He has massive amounts of knowledge (bardic knowledge, loremasterdom, middling fighting ability, proficiencies with pretty much any weapon, most likely from his watcher training (fighter level), was a street thug for a while (rogue2, has decent lockpicking abilities), has decent spellcasting ability, and, although he hides it, has significant musical ability (Perform: Acoustic Rock). Oz: Human Bard 5-7, Werewolf template. Low-lelvel b/c he got little action. Lots of musical talent (bardic music), rivaling Willow in intellect, at least by test scores, and with lots of practical knowledge, esp with technology (the above 2: bardic knowledge), decent fighting and some weapon profs (bards have that). Spike: Fighter 11/Bard 8. Into poetry and knows a bit about magic. Able to cast with rituals/items/scrolls (UMD). As good at fighting as anyone on the show, only marginally weaker than Buffy (better than most slayers, as he has killed two b4...Buffy, however, if the longest-lived slayer ever, so is obviously slightly more powerful than her predecessors) Willow: Wiz18. Buffyverse wizards are pretty good approximations of DnD wizards. At the end of this past season, before she with the dark magic powerup thing, she cast gate to summon the god Osiris, although she failed the negotiations stage. Thus, she must cast L9 spells. She once incinerated a reasonably powerful demon with a word. She Quickens most of her spells nowadays. She is particularly fond of Walls of Force and telekinesis, and even used the munchkin TK a bag of daggers trick once.

While he had little formal training (implanted knowledge from the Soldier-Xander-Holloween incident provided him with the benefits of US Army basic training), he has nonetheless racked up tremendous amount of XP over time. (It was implied that he patrolled with Buffy throughout high school at least, and in season 5, Buffy asserted to the Council of Watchers that Xander "clocked more time in the field than all of [them] combined."
