[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 2280567, member: 30001"] I consider myself as much of a number cruncher as anyone but I'm not comfortable with the increasing number of high level adventurers either. Seems like the number of adventures written for double-digit levels is alot higher than in the old days (when 5-7th level seemed so popular) I don't have a problem with high level rulers. Fantasy kingdoms would require exceptional skills to lead. However, I don't think they'd have to be the highest level characters in the kingdoms, their differences in power could be made up by followers/organizations. They'd just have to be high enough level to command respect from the other high-level people. IMC level of power is a fairly tangible thing - people don't usually mistake a 10th level person for a 1st level person or vice versa, even though there's no concept of level - except for spell-casters. It's hard to imagine that the leader of a clerical heirarchy can't cast the highest level spells in his group. Seems to me a natural thing the divine favor/mandate to lead would equate to spell casting level. [/QUOTE]
