The Common folk want a settled leader who they can rely on in a pinch- the Lvl 18 Druid that wonders by once a year to give them a bumper crop is a Hero, he isn't a leader.Actually come to think of it I think Gandalf gives a pretty good example of a High Level character and how he interacts with society. ie He occasionally pops into the Shire puts on a quick display to impress the punters and then continues on to whatever high level adventure is calling him. He's an annual diversion, not a permanent fixture</blockquote>
