[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 4498042, member: 463"] I've run a lot of 3e campaigns over the past 8 years. Level demographics - what it "means" to be 3rd level or 8th - is something I've played around with a lot. Currently I'm running a game at the very low end, where the PCs are the only PC-class characters (NPCs use Mentzer Red Box classes!) and a 1st level PC is already a major force. NPC spellcasters are usually limited to 1st & 2nd level spells, 3rd is rare and 4th nearly unheard of. By the time the PCs reach 10th they'll be of demigod stature. However I'm thinking of running a Wilderlands 3e game for my next campaign, probably next year. Traditionally Wilderlands has a lot of 'mid' level NPCs - 5th level barmaids, that kind of thing - but few very high level. So I was thinking of using something like this: 1-5: Mundane NPCs, from 1st level novices to 5th level elite guards. 6-10: Heroic NPCs - mercenary captains, high priests and such. 11-20: Legendary NPCs, like the Invincible Overlord and the Green Emperor. I was wondering what kind of level spreads you've used in your own 3e campaigns, and have you tried different ones for different settings? Also, anyone been running Wilderlands? [/QUOTE]
