This is probably because I DM a interplanar epic level campaign that's been running since 2nd ed. Most people are 1st, but normal people that faces a lot of challenges during their lives will usually gain a few levels. A young bar maid can be a 2nd level rogue, a frontier farmer can be a 4th lvl warrior, a king can be a lvl figher4/aristocrat7 etc.The PCs are around 25th lvl. I have around 500 npcs, and I guess 15 are epic just in levels, but when it comes to ECL, many more are epic. When it comes to who shapes the world or whether people are famous, level isn't that important. The PCs are legendary, but when it comes to NPCs, timing and politics can turn a relatively low level character into a mayor player, and some epic level characters keep a very low profile. A question for the OPs and others who keep their players at low levels: How do your players feel about never being able to reach the full potential of their characters as outlined by the PHB?</blockquote>
