The paradigm is whatever the DM makes it but I use 20 levels something like such:1-5) characters deal with low level minions, need to survive within the social system6-10) characters direct groups and exert influence over their surroundings11-15) characters have strong minions, control regions, can be a of cause great occurances16-20) characters are legends of their age, may "break" the system on a whimA group of 12th level "bandits" means to me that this is no mere village and they are no mere bandits, some great event is about to unfold. If they act like a bunch of 3rd level brigands otoh, well, I'd be disappointed.Btw, my DM is going old school on me by handing out aproximately 1/4 XP to the next level every session and not caring a whit for the CR/level table. It's the perfect method for his campaign and he's running it on instinct, I think the apprentice is becoming the master. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
