[QUOTE="Caliburn101, post: 6760155, member: 6802178"] [b]My Campaign Demographics - I like it reasonable...[/b] [B]CAMPAIGN HUMANOID PC/NPC LEVEL/HD DEMOGRAPHICS (In my campaigns)[/B] Levels/HD 1-2 (~30% of demographic; just under 2 in 3 people) These are the apprentices, neophytes and uninspired peasants et al in the general population. This level range is for the young and inexperienced adventurer, or the run-of-the-mill commoner. Levels/HD 3-4 (~66% of demographic; just under 1 in 3 people) Trained, competent and/or sufficiently experienced, it is within this range that a person has solidly established their place in the world. Not many people move beyond this level, as they do not lead lives which challenge them sufficiently to do so. Levels/HD 5-6 (3.95% of demographic; just under 1 in 25 people) Mature journeymen, the supremely well-trained and/or widely experienced are in this range. Generally well regarded and sought out for their abilities, people in this range command good prices for their services and find as much work through personal recommendation as self-promotion. Adventurers of this level are relied upon to tackle dangerous challenges. Levels/HD 7-9 (~0.045% of demographic; around 1 in 2,500 people) Hardened veterans or those immersed for a lifetime in their craft or profession, this level range is for those who, for the vast majority of normal people, have reached the fullest extent of their abilities, or for the more heroic – those who have accomplished deeds worthy of widespread and significant recognition, and who are expected to succeed against the odds. Levels/HD 10-12 (0.004% of demographic; 1 in 25,000 people) Exceptional masters of their professions recognised far and wide, or renowned heroes whose deeds live on in songs the Bards sing. This level is nearly always the shining pinnacle of a persons’ career even if they started life gifted. Potentates will offer rich rewards to secure their services. Levels/HD 13-16 (0.0009% of demographic; less than 1 in 100,000 people) Famous heroes whose deeds are immortalised in poems, tapestries, statues and folktales. They are frequently on a first-name basis with Powerful Monarchs, Kingmaking Cardinals, Arch Magi or Elder Dragons alike. Levels/HD 17+ (0.0001% of demographic; 1 in 1,000,000 people) These are the rare legends whose sagas will live a thousand years or more. The world shakes where they tread and the greatest powers of the world take pause at the mention of their names. [/QUOTE]
