Message: <blockquote data-quote="A'koss" data-source="post: 341412" data-attributes="member: 840">There was recently a lengthy thread on this very topic on RGFD. I just want to throw out a few more things to ponder.1. Did an array of monstrous races evolve alongside humans during the developing years of world? If so, the likelihood of human/demihuman dominance (existence?) is certainly in question. Perhaps humans are relegated to playing the middle ground between other powerful races that have divided up the world...2. Leveled & Non-leveled people interacting. Does power corrupt? D&D allows people who start out as no better than you or I to attain near (and sometimes surpassing) godlike power, skills and stats. A single HL fighter could kill an entire city full of commoners with impunity. How would these beings really fit into society? How does a character with a 30+ Wis or Cha (far beyond what is attainable IRL) interact with the common populace?3. Politics. Who rules? High level diplomats can use diplomacy checks to bend the favor of just about any NPC to their cause. Assassination is easy, D&D heavily favors the attacker. How do societies adapt? 4. How is experience points accumulated in your world. Do you allow non-combat experience or must all involve some sort of risk? How you allow the people to gain XP will directly affect how many HLers there'll be running around.5. Demographics. Do you follow the DMG/ELH for numbers and strength of classed individuals? How you build your world will directly affect these numbers.Have fun!A'koss.</blockquote>
