[QUOTE="Graf, post: 390882, member: 3087"] this thread brings up a key point and one of my pet peeves. Levels are an obvious fact of life in D&D. Especially Wizard levels. Every known arcane caster casts the same number and sort of spells with a few specific regular deviations (related to attributes, feats, magic items, etc). The idea that, since the begining of recorded time, nobody noticed that all wizards have advanced in the same progression in terms of number and level of spells caster per day is just ludicrus. Especially when you're talking about a tradtion which, sterotypically, is filled with the most analyical and academic people with the highest intelligence scores. This tradition does training in either one-on-one sessions (where a master closely works with an aprentice and has themselves gone through the same level progression) or magical colleges where people pass through (sterotypically) rigorous tests. I think that I can say thsi applies to Druids, Clerics, Paladins, etc. as well. So, yes, I think that informed people are well aware of the level system. Wizards in my world often use different idioms but they fully understand what it means to 'have progressed six steps on the path to arcane power'. [/QUOTE]
