D&D 5E Names of the four tiers

[Umbran]

John. Paul. George. Ringo.

Or, more obscurely - Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and Irving.

 

[Garthanos]

<Adventurer, Hero, Paragon, Epic>

That works though I think of the first 4 as Farmer or Apprentice levels that has more dignity I suppose.

 

[Baumi]

I have also thought about Apprentice or Novice as first tier, but that does sound like they have a Teacher which is usually not the case.

 

[Garthanos]

Then again one might name em - scared of a rabbit levels, badder than a rabbit, badder than bugs, and god of rabbits.

 

[BlivetWidget]

I nominate foo, bar, baz, qux...

 

[RobJN]

Basic, Expert, Companion, Master...?

 

[RSIxidor]

I like Heroic, Paragon and Epic too, but this is missing a fourth one. Maybe a "Veteran" between Hero and Paragon or <Adventurer, Hero, Paragon, Epic>

That works though I think of the first 4 as Farmer or Apprentice levels that has more dignity I suppose.

Are level 1 heroes complete noobs? I've never taken that way. They're more experienced than common folks.

I think it should be Veteran/Hero/Paragon/Epic, if we're tacking on to the 4E names to name the 4th tier.

Fragile as flowers in most editions , 4e has minion class enemies even at level 1 in which it is obvious they are not newbs (themes and a feat at level 1), but I translate that to level 3-5 in 5e . Gygax and Arneson themselves skipped the first levels in their own home games. Gygax never the less named level 1 fighter veteran which at some level implies something under the belt.

The four tiers are Larry, Curly, Moe, and Shemp.

No one plays Shemp.

Some of us would like to (Shemp seems lonely) and a few rare ones do, but ... never the less generally true
