Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fingol" data-source="post: 1954044" data-attributes="member: 22679">Nice description!I still have a couple of reservations though;1) Where do NPCs get xp from to go up levels? I think as stated elsewhere in the thread you only get xp from potentially fatal challenges overcome. If they do gain xp by fighting then that would lead me to conclude that they would gain levels that are more martially orientated. 2) To get from level 19 to level 20 he needs to kill 3 or 4 people (other commoners?)/ creatures of an appropriately high CR. He is not just the anonymous commoner fighting on a battle field in one of the lords peasant army regiments anymore. He is out there protecting his lord from dragons, enemy spell casters etc...He can not do this if the only levels he took were commoner, because as stated a commoner's levels are no where near his ability to handle CR ratings like those of other classes. Heck the whole NPC class group suffers from this. At some point they don't earn xp anymore from the CRs they can defeat as the xp award table is only level and CR dependent. I keep on concluding that a level 20th commoner somehow is breaking all the rules. Am I wrong?</blockquote>
