[QUOTE="Gold Roger, post: 3341866, member: 33904"] They are special in two aspects: potential and desteny. Why is their potential special: -Attributes. Some easy examples: A usual city guard in my campaign would be a level 3 fighter with all attributes 10 or 11. An archmage (level 11-15) will be brilliant (Int 17+) but otherwhise not so special (all other attributes 11 or less). Compare that with the stats some PC tend to have. Yeah, they might be level 1 apprentices, but their inherent talent is plain to see. -Level cap: All PC's have the potential to advance up to level 20, the absolute peak of mortal power when it comes to leveling imc. Most NPC's will never reach ast a certain level and for many that level is beneath level 5. -Advancement rate: even with drasticaly reduced xp and lots of downtime, PC's might reach 20th level within five to ten years. That's a frightening potential of growth. Why are they special in regards of desteny: -Whatever advancement a PC seeks he'll propably find. Some NPC's might search a hidden master for their whole life and not find one and yet, I'll make sure that every PC will have a teacher by the time he wants to join a PRC. Likewhise, it will be the PC's who just so happen to stumble across that scroll of a rare spell in an abandoned tower searched trice already. -Lets just admit it. PC's attract trouble. A common farmer will live peacefully his whole life and the one night the PCs visit everything gets turned upside down. [/QUOTE]
