[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5585775, member: 8835"] I guess it puzzles me that there needs to be a term for that. If every NPC/monster leveled when the PCs do, that would be stupid (Elder Scrolls IV, my favorite game does this). I am disinclined to alter or level up the kobolds who live in the cave next to Newbieville. I am inclined to make the next new Threat or Opportunity be level appropriate under the premise that the PCs have risen in rank socially and as such, the problems they encounter are of a larger nature. 1st level PCs don't get summoned by the 10th level Lord to ask for their help. They are beneath his notice. 8th level PCs have traveled far and earned the animosity of higher level beings. As such, that's the kind of trouble they find. But if the PCs want to go slumming with the peons, they are probably still there. [/QUOTE]
