[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 3687268, member: 2209"] If they are not going to fight the PCs it usually does not matter. The fact that the king is 8th or 18th level in aristocrat does not really affect the game, his role as king is what's important to the game. If you want a wizard to be a mentor and source of apropriate high level spells/crafting for the party then advancing makes sense so he still has powerful stuff the party wants as opposed to just the midling but useful offerings of lower level spells and items. If you need the important NPCs to stay more powerful than the party for a plot reason then advance them. If not then don't. I wouldn't worry about advancing NPCs stats for the most part. My high level group (16) encounters wildly varying levels of people and NPCs. Levels affect combat power, they are not that important for other roles that NPCs take in RPG plots (guide, sources of information or goods, victim, behind the scenes manipulator, local authority, etc.) [/QUOTE]
