[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 1598786, member: 463"] I would say, for my core campaign, roughly: [b]3rd[/b] PC's are at best known by a few dozen people for having great potential. [b]9th[/b] PC's are real world heroes who have completed several adventures, are relatively well known in their land, and possibly hold noble status. [b]15th[/b] PC's are famous across the continent, their accomplishments are being sung across the land, and they work in concert with Kings, Queens, and others in power. [b]20th[/b] The PC's are famous across the known world, they wield great influence over world events, and they are making a name for themselves in other planes. [b]25th[/b] The PC's operate across and have great influence in several worlds, they are outside normal laws, and deal mainly with extraplanar creatures and others with world spanning powers. They are the pawns of demigods and divine powers. I don't think this has changed much since 1e - even though high-level characters are more powerful now, but NPC levels are somewhat higher too - no more "zero level NPCs". I've reduced levels for 3e of 'Epic' characters who were level 21+ in 1e/2e, eg 28th then might be 23rd now. The PC deity Thrin had around 120 levels in 1e and has 80 now, most deities will have around 40-60 levels. [/QUOTE]
