[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 2267537, member: 945"] I've seen this before, and I've seen people complain about it before. Obviously, there's nothing rules-wise that says that adventurers have to be in their 50s to be 30th level, but it seems to make more sense, for some reason. I blame Tolkien. Anyway, reasons to stay in town, I can think of several. The wizard might want to make a powerful magic item, or the fighter might want to build a keep, and attract followers, the thief might want to start a thieves guild, er rogues guild, er whatever. :) The cleric will want to build a temple, and the druid might want to cleanse a forest, or establish a grove (although I don't know what might go into doing such a thing). All of these things take considerable amounts of time. Encourage your players to do this in a relatively small town, and then have fast-forward several years to see it grow, attract commerce, attract followers, attract all kinds of stuff really. It'll make the game more interesting, and make them older, which I think is your main purpose, anyway. [/QUOTE]
