[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 2279931, member: 463"] IMC the powerful rulers tend to be high level for the reason JoeG gave, but they are rarely the highest level in the Kingdom; eg King Hansor of Thrinia is 16th level but he can call upon 21st level allies & retainers, Overking Tarkane is 16th but he has 17th-19th liegemen likewise. The powerful ruler tends to have certain qualities like wisdom & ambition as well as being a tough-ass. Taking a historical example, King Edward I would be a high level Fighter in a D&D world but not the highest level in the whole of England - with Point Buy he wouldn't have the best physical/combat stats either because he'd have points in INT WIS & CHA. IMC usually there's a King's Champion who is at or close to being the best fighter in the realm, better than the King himself, but the King although surrounded by guards on the battlefield can still lay the smackdown if necessary.
