[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5839207, member: 92305"] [COLOR=green]Those still having trouble with the OP, consider this....[/COLOR] You've got three basic types of characters in the game. [COLOR=green]Faceless Mooks[/COLOR] [COLOR=green][/COLOR] [COLOR=green]Important NPC's[/COLOR] [COLOR=green][/COLOR] [COLOR=green]PC's and Major NPC's[/COLOR] When considering the level of a character in each of these categories, two of the categories are no brainers... [COLOR=green]Faceless Mooks[/COLOR] are always level 1-3. Pick the most appropriate. [COLOR=green]PC's and Major NPC's[/COLOR] are defined by game experience and story needs. For the middle category, the [COLOR=green]Important NPC's[/COLOR], use the chart in the OP as a guideline--a rule of thumb--a starting point. Adjust from that point. Done. In a nutshell, that's what the OP says. If you're playing D&D or a d20 game with non-humans, then adjust age on the chart appropriately. If you want to use the chart for monsters, do the same thing. All the chart is intended to be is a game aid. It's not a overbearing rule. It doesn't replace the GM's common sense and judgement. It's simply a tool for the GM to use when considering NPC character levels. I think it does a pretty good job. For those of you that don't agree....simply ignore the thread! [/QUOTE]
