This changes very slowly for more experienced careers, and unlike D&D, even a starting character can conceivably have the best armor the game can offer (plate mail). In D&D 3rd Edition terms, that would mean more than 1st level, but less than 5th, perhaps. This would indicate that a (very) rough comparison is the number of careers equals level + 1. A third career WFRP character would then correspond to a fourth level D&D character.That's 3rd edition though, where characters start out very mortal. In 4th edition, I'm afraid I agree with a previous poster: all WFRP characters are 1st level D&D characters. The survivability of 4E is vastly higher than the previous edition - much more like a super-hero game than WFRP.In terms of social power, WFRP characters can become burghermeisters, guildmasters, noblemen and the like. I would say the entire range of heroic tier levels are open. Meaning that these kinds of positions are in D&D games often held by characters of levels 6-10, at least in bigger towns and cities.I would not recommend mapping WFRP characters of any kind onto the paragon tier, with the possible exception of Grail Knights and rare individuals like Gottrek the Dwarf. However, that does not mean I can't see WFB heroes (from the minis game) as paragon-tier heroes: the kings and leaders of the various armies. Certain individuals such as Teclis might even be described as made out of epic-tier stuff. But that's another discussion.</blockquote>
