[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 4498056, member: 2093"] In my homebrew campaign, where I pay attention to "verisimilitude", most NPCs are of the NPC classes (3e), and are of levels 1-3. I would say 90% fall in this category. But of the other 10%, most are higher level NPC classes (usually expert, aristocrat or warrior), and a few are low-mid level PC classes (usually prestige classes such as knight, which replaces paladin IMC) including cleric, wizard or sorcerer, and rogue. This doesn't count the DIRECT combat foes of the PCs, who are almost always leveled PC classes - I figure they're elites like the PCs and don't worry about how they "fit" the population guidelines. But when I design the population of a town or a village or other community, those are my guidelines. The one thing to be aware of in all this is that I tend to run campaigns that end when the PCs hit about 12th level; that's when I find 3e "breaks" for me and I get tired of the complexity. [/QUOTE]
