Level is a game mechanic measuring experince and the overall "skill" of the character in what he does (e.g. how good a fighter is in fighting or how good an Expert is in his overall field of study).Under basic D&D 3.0E assumptions, around 90% of the population are level 1 Commoners. The majority of the population from the other classes is also at low levels. PCs at level 11+ are vastly powerful than most people in the world - they are the superheroes of the setting. Villains of level 11+ are supervillains. Both superheroes and supervillains are rare and unique. A world of common folk serves as the backdrop for these characters' exploits.That's the reason why I like low-level play: you're part of the world, not above it.</blockquote>
