There are different representations of a power level, but for the purposes of the IR, all power levels are considered equal. Power levels represent combat strength. It is important to understand the variety of Power Levels that exist in order to best understand the game.Some power levels represent entire military units with thousands of men. Some power levels represent the strength of a small group of elite soldiers. Other power levels represent only a fraction of the power of a great individual.Character Levels as Power Levels1 PL = 12,800 1st level commoners wearing padded armor, a wooden shield, and a simple weapon1 PL = 6400 1st level warriors wearing studded leather, a wooden shield, and a martial weapon1 PL = 320 1st or 2nd level characters wearing ashigaru armor and wielding a martial weapon1 PL = 160 3rd or 4th level characters wearing ashigaru armor and wielding a martial weapon1 PL = 80 5th or 6th level characters wearing light or medium armor and with some masterwork weapons1 PL = 40 7th or 8th level characters wearing medium or heavy armor and with many masterwork weapons1 PL = 2 8th or 9th level characters wearing standard equipment for their levels1 PL = 1 10th - 14th level character wearing standard equipment for his/her level2 PL = 1 15th - 19th level character wearing standard equipment for his/her level3 PL = 1 20th - 24th level character wearing standard equipment for his/her level4 PL = 1 25th - 29th level character wearing standard equipment for his/her level+1 PL for every 5 levels after 25thCreature Hit Dice as Power Levels5 PL = One creature with 73-80 HD4 PL = One Creature with 64-72 HD3 PL = One creature with 57-64 HD2 PL = One creature with 49-56 HD1 PL = One creature with 33-48 HD1 PL = 2 creatures with 25-32 HD each1 PL = 40 creatures with 17-24 HD each1 PL = 80 creatures with 9-16 HD each1 PL = 160 creatures with 7-8 HD each1 PL = 320 creatures with 5-6 HD each1 PL = 6,400 creatures with 3-4 HD each1 PL = 12,800 creatures with 1-2 HD each+1 PL for every 8 HD after 80thPower Levels as Resources1 PL = 32,000 Gold Pieces1 PL = 80 Masterwork Katanas1 PL = 64 Pounds of Mithral1 PL = 48 Pounds of Adamantium1 PL = 8 Pearls of Power (2nd Level)1 PL = A Single +6 WeaponPower Levels as Enhancements or Damage (for 1 character)1 PL = 5 Character Levels beyond 10th1 PL = 64 Points of Strength1 PL = 32 Bonus Hit Dice (d8s)-1 PL = 32 Damage Dice (d8s)-1 PL = 64 Points of Ability Damage-1 PL = 8 Negative Levels (Not permanent Level Loss)</blockquote>
