[QUOTE="Griffith Dragonlake, post: 3791260, member: 40379"] Posting article on behalf of Sean (hope he doesn't mind): I think on Sean's boards there was a discussion about changing the progression from monthly shared with spouse to seasonal. Spring and Autumn were CR 1, Summer CR 1/2, and Winter CR 2. I ran the numbers starting 1st level at age 16. 7th level is achieved at age 32, 8th at 38, 9th at 47, and 10th (highest level Human & Half-Orc) at 68. By applying the same rules to long-lived non-Humans, we get 11th level at 115 (max Half-Elf & Halfling), 12th at 218, 13th at 444 (Dwarf, Elf & Gnome max level), and 14th level at 906 years of age. However even the oldest Elves are dead at age 750, so 14th level is unattainable for a non-Adventurer. So the venerable Dwarf, Gnome, & Elven wizards are on average either 12th or 13th level, assuming they face the same hardships that Humans do. However, I suspect that they do not. Perhaps they also cap out at 10th level just like Humans and Half-Orcs but just take a longer time of doing so. Hence the background behind my assertion of NPCs capping out at 10th level. [/QUOTE]
