It's about effect on the world due to the impact of their skills, knowledge, and talents.A level 1 hexblade might murderize some goblins. However if they anger a generic knight, they will be destroyed easily.At level 1, you can't affect more than a town or city level area without long term planning. Tier 1s can't stop a motivated orc chief alone. Tier 2s can. Tier 3s scoff at the idea. And Tier 4s think its a joke.Any PC can have a battle that can end in death. What changes is what is needed to challenge them. You can have a grimy and gritty game at level 15. However you likely must travel to the 9th level of hell or a demon prince's abyssal castle.</blockquote>
