[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1743639, member: 9646"] Ah, even in my D&D game I put average people as 3rd level. In any d20 game (I would do likewise with T20) I propose this: --1st lvl. : young adult (starting age of PCs) or whimp. --2nd lvl. : average 20-25 years old NPC, or older lazy people with no incentive or necessity to gain more experience in their field. --3rd lvl.: average 25-40+ years old NPC, with reasonable experience in their field. --4th / 5th lvl. : people who stand out, more ambitious, more serious about their job, etc. The master crafstman, the military officer, etc. fall into this category. --6th and above lvl. : exceptional people. IMO commandos are okay at 6th lvl., but since I also got a 10th level commando NPC for my thread, I just labelled it an "elite commando". They would indeed remain rare, but would be nonetheless interesting to use occasionally for high level heroic adventures. After all, this is what this thread is for: providing the much various kinds of NPCs so the DM may have something to pick up in most situations. Only special villains cannot be covered (they usually fit in a specific campaign), however their lieutnants can be contributed. These two threads are not there just for low level commoners and ordinaries! :cool: [COLOR=Yellow][B]FANTASY - D&D:[/B] Interested in a bunch of free NPCs ready to use?
