[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7145266, member: 284"] For my current campaign, I've decided to take a page from Eberron and have certain NPC's be "granted" class levels. In universe, the justification is that certain positions of power elevate you when you take the oaths of office and wear the trappings of that office. You also have to remain with whatever geographic area that office has influence over. For example, the Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild is always at least 11th level, for so long as they are the guildmaster, wearing the Guildmasters Cloak and stay within territory the guild controls. Even if they were a 4th level rogue before becoming guildmaster. The King/Queen is always at least 15th level - as long as they have been officially recognized as the rightful ruler, taken the oaths, wear the crown, and remain within the borders of the kingdom. Even if they have never adventured a day in their life. Being officially removed from office (usually via a ritual or something similar), losing the item associated with the office, or being forcibly removed from the territory they control removes their extra levels and makes them much more vulnerable.
