[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 5575694, member: 20854"] Depends on the campaign. Sometimes I'd rather do "zero to hero," and sometimes it's more appropriate to start out as a hero. Thus, I like a game system that supports both. For D&D, I use the original approach: [list] [*]0 level - You're a normal man. You might even be an average career mercenary with years of combat experience, but you're still 0-level. [*]1st - 3rd level - You're a [b]veteran[/b] with the potential for true greatness. [*]4th level - You're a [b]hero[/b]. You can stand against four normal men on equal terms. You can go one-on-one with an ogre and it's a fair fight. You have a degree of limited fame, especially locally. [*]8th level - You're a [b]superhero[/b], edging into John Carter or Conan territory. Your name is well-known across multiple lands. [*]9th level+ - You're a [b]lord[/b] among men, possibly carving out a domain or even a throne with the strength of your sword-arm. [/list] I don't have an upper cap on levels, but 9th or 10th is the beginning of "high level," and levels above 14 or so are extremely rare. [/QUOTE]
