Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lady Dragon" data-source="post: 271724" data-attributes="member: 3453">This is the 2nd thread in a month that has talked about high level commoners and other NPC classes. And although the rules don't explicitly forbid it I really don't think that was the intention of NPC classes.These classes were a way to put into game terms the  "ordinary" people that the PC's will meet and interact with during a game.If an "ordinary person gains to many level then he is no longer "ordinary" is he.Take the warrior for example this class is meant to represent army soldier or city gaurds.A first level warrior would be a private,2nd level a corporeal,and third level a sergeant.But lets face it if this person continues to advance in his career he really a fighter and needs to start taking fighter levels or even convert his warrior levels to fighter. The same goes for adept at some point the person is no longer just tinkering with the supernatural and needs to start taking a PC class such as wizard or Cleric.The only exception to this is the expert.A master craftsman would be a high level expert though his fighting abilities should be based on his exact profession a weapon smith probably would know how to use the weapons that he forges but a gemcutter would not nessesarily have any martial skills.As for the commoner and the Aristocrat any one extrodinary enough to make it to 4th level or beyond is also good enough to get levels in a PC class.Don't tell me about the gritty seasoned farmer who's made epic level but doesn't have a single level in fighter.I would ask where did be get all of his experience.If he truly had life experiences enough to get him to epic level then he's not going to be a commoner anymore is he.He will have changed with the circumstances and yes Farming may be his true love and the only thing he wants to be.But an Epic level farmer is really a fill-in the-blank who happens to farm.Ranger,fighter and Druid come to mind as possibilies.</blockquote>
