[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9607827, member: 6684958"] The Classic Forgotten Realms, back in 2E, had the median level of Toril as 10th. So roughly half of the world was above and half the world was below 10th level. Though it is not an even spread, as most people are in the 1-3 level and 11-12 level. A typical average person starts at 1st level at 20 years old, and gains a level every three years. So roughly they will be 10th level at age 50. And then need five years to gain a level, so often they would top out at 12th level at age 60. The other people, with more active lives, might level up much faster and account for the higher levels in the world. The 'average' ruler is around 10th level, the vague 7-12 range. Most mundane characters don't get much flashy that effects the world. A lot of what they get is more vague. Such as charisma effecting people. The Realms also makes a firm line between the characters that just use magic and the character that have a real talent for magic. It should also be noted that back in 2E, it was common to have characters of all abilities. So you could have a high level character, with low ability scores, that would not exactly be as powerful as they should be 'on paper'. Getting up to 20th level is rare, so the Realms only has around 500, but they don't all seek places of power. [/QUOTE]
