[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8287968, member: 72555"] In order to keep the world feeling the way I want it to, I want a ratio like: 100 L 1 30 L 2 10 L 3 3 L 4 1 L 5 And that [I]anyone[/I] above level 5 did not get there by a human mortal lifespan of "practice". To break level 5 you need a supernatural excuse. Maybe you can have a bucketload of raw talent and be level 7; but more likely you traded your ability to love to the unseelie for power. The eldar races (dwarves snd elves) can pull it off with century+ of young, healthy bodies and minds. This will also be limited, probably to around level 11 (with elves capping out more often than dwarves). However, cheating happens. Being blessed by divine power, magical lineage, crazy magic rituals where you suck the mojo out of other things, or the fantasy equivalent of super hero gamma ray exposure. Monster wise, the 5e "guard" is roughly "level 1", the veteran/knight is a L5. Higher level magic requires ancient magic items, including spell scrolls, or slow and costly ritual magic fueled by ley lines. [/QUOTE]
