[QUOTE="Malcolm, post: 1066964, member: 11180"] Sure! They don't have dung all over their boots! (get it? they can afford to get cantrips on their gear.. get it? eh? eh?) seriously I'd say: It depends. Some folks are just inherently dangerous and look it. Some are and don't. People with more experiences in life tend to carry themselves with more confidence, the same might be said of High level characters. There will be extremes though; those people who have their hearts or souls broken. They tend to radiate an intensity with their actions or gaze that makes them shine out as well to the careful observer. I'd combine both a.) The level of the observer with b.) the level of the observed. While individuals are unique and have hundreds of means through which they express their sense of Self, common background and events/experiences will tend to cause some things to shine through.. Want to recognize the High Level Wizard? Look for the one that Levitates constantly, or examines a magic item with just one casual glance. High Level Priest? Look for the faithful flocking to them, or the determined burn of religious zeal in their eyes when given the chance to talk about their god. High Level Monk? Serene and calm, even when you spill the bowl of scalding soup in her lap. High Level Fighter? He's either got more weapons than a small army, or he has just one and he's always got a body part touching it! High Level Rogue? She's the one checking you out while you're checking her out, you can't see her doing it, but you swear your skin is crawling as she looks at you like a object not a person. [/QUOTE]
