In 1e the 'social pillar' of the game is indeed level agnostic in terms of its mechanics, there's no modifier to loyalty for being higher level. However, the STAKES of social interactions are VERY level scaled. You can only ever hire NPCs of less than your level, you only get followers at a certain level, and most certainly while level might not factor into the toss of the dice for a morale or reaction role the orcs are MOST CERTAINLY much more likely to do what the 9th level fighter says than what the first level fighter says! The game assumes a very level-based social hierarchy, kings are high level guys, army grunts are low level guys. You want to be a king, you better be high level. Its not hard-coded into the rules, but then again its not hard-coded into the rules that a level 1 PC can't find a +5 sword or kill a red dragon, its just not likely.</blockquote>
