[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5554664, member: 6668292"] I really don't want this thread about arguing, but your post wasn't. Thanks for making it more discussion-like than argument-like :) I agree. I'd say that applies to any level of power, though. There's always something to pursue, and there's always something that can challenge you. I just prefer the low-end stuff, as does my group (even if we have a blast with the high-end stuff!). It still probably wouldn't be as fulfilling in terms of gaining the wealth. What you do with it, I agree, can be fulfilling as well. Nothing wrong with that style of game whatsoever :) Now, let me be clear on my game (even if you didn't ask...): the PCs do start off as competent. I just have the rest of the world as competent as well. Where players characters start off at hit die 1 (as I use a level system in my game), most commoner NPCs will vary between hit die 1-6. The average might be around 3-4 for people in their late 20s. They have a lot of experience, and are very good at their trade. The PCs will start off competent, they just will not be experienced yet. That's where experience and leveling comes into play. As always, it's all preference, and I think the answers thus far have been interesting. Play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
