[QUOTE="brvheart, post: 6168874, member: 8839"] I have always had an issue with the concept that heroes are born to be the "best of the best". I prefer the concept that heroes are made, not born. While PCs may be better than your average NPC, there are still plenty of other NPCs out there that are of the adventurer caliber stats and wealth. I don't consider a mid level character a superhero, nor a high level character a god like creature. At 8th level it should not take a BBEG to knock the block of a PC that has got too big for his britches. There are plenty of mid level bad guys that are more than happy to oblige him! Yes, a starting PC will have better stats than 90% of the NPCs out there but is not a "prodigy" by any means. It just means he is one of the talented tenth that has the potential to excel if he works hard and gets the right breaks. I am of the opinion that half of 1st level characters should not even survive to make 2nd! But to each his own I guess. [/QUOTE]
