[QUOTE="Vinyafod, post: 512445, member: 6206"] Sounds not too bad an idea but at first glance I see two problems. The first being: Even if the Bob the farmer is a 20th level commoner/ expert... it is in fact no real difference to a level 1 or 2 commoner. The Players will still be much, much more powerful than Bob. As long as the majority of the population is still made up of NPC classes your system will not change much. Sure there will be Townguards (fighters) which can stand up against them but still... as long as you have 80% commoners/experts (NPC classes in general) your PC's will be much more powerfull than 80% of the population. The second problem is magis items and magic itself. You will probably equip the PC's with adequate items appropriate for their levels. If you don't equip the NPC's accordingly you will again have a huge difference in power. Hence, equipping all NPC's with appropriate gear for their level will cause a huge flood of magic items and such. Lessening the value of these items a lot. After all, a great deal of power the PC's can wield arises from the magic items one has. Unless you play in an ultra-low magic campaign that will cause problems I guess. Just a few thoughts...
