[QUOTE="Griffith Dragonlake, post: 3769210, member: 40379"] In Grymwurld™ adventuring is an anomaly but PC classed NPCs are not. There are mercenary companies who fight wars for pay (and practice brigandage in their spare time). There are orders of monastic knights (paladins & clerics) who go on crusades. The Druids and Rangers have similar associations although they are focused on preservation and protection rather than crusading. There are universities that crank out wizards. There are Thieves' guilds as well. But dungeon crawling adventuring parties? Nope. There are bandits which come close but as (PSI)SeveredHead mentioned, those groups are not as balanced as PC adventuring parties. Once and only once in 30 years of D&D have I had the PCs hear of another adventuring party — or at least a group that took their name — the ghoul reivers. As it turns out, they were happy to give up their name even though the other party was pretty lousy at reiving ghouls! :\ [/QUOTE]
