[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6516091, member: 7006"] From everything that's been said in the past... there are four lightly-defined "tiers" in the game. Two four-level tiers (1-4 & 17-20) and two six-level tiers (5-10 & 11-16.) And it's pretty much been hyped that the first tier is apprenticeship tier. So yeah, in the game world you could easily say that a character isn't really a "Ranger" or a "Wizard" yet-- at least as being looked upon as so from the peoples within the game world. I'd agree that it is 5th level (and the second tier) when you might nominally become known as your Class's name. At 5th level you are a Bard. You are a Druid. You are a Fighter. Because that's when you get your iconic abilities that define the class (extra attacks, 3rd level spells etc.) I'd then say that "Name Level" (as per AD&D) is most likely gained when you reach the third tier and 11th level. However you might define "name level" and whatever term you might use-- "Grandmaster", "Archmage", "Master Thief" or whatever. Then finally... once you reach 17th level and the last tier, your PC has moved on from petty terrestrial concerns, and so who needs titles at that point? You're moving on to become one with the planes, so I think pretty much your PC's NAME is all the title you need. Does Elminster need a title? Does Tenser need a title? Does Drizzt need a title? Nope. They have their name. That's all the title you need. [/QUOTE]
