Others would not say so. The PC paladin is important in the sense that he is whose story is being followed at the moment; that does not, from an in-world perspective, make him more important than the NPC paladin.Clearly level has an impact on the game world itself, as a character with a higher level is capable of more, is more resistant to damage in general, and has a better chance of performing tasks. As such, level does exist, though not necessarily in a readily-determined fashion.Ah, of course, D&D is all about killing things and taking their stuff. I see that you have a very sophisticated approach to gaming.Cut the One True Way crap. It's stupid and childish.That opinion is just awesome, really. It's why I'm posting this response, even!No, good sir, you simply seem incapable of comprehending the idea that someone out there might not interpret the game exactly the same way you do. Not everyone plays D&D as a game of "kill things and take their stuff." Some people want something somewhat more immersive and complicated and simulationist. If you don't, that's fine, but don't tell people they don't understand RPGs when they don't see gaming in the exact same light that you do.</blockquote>
