[QUOTE="Al, post: 44017, member: 2486"] I once house-ruled that going about your everyday business (working for most people, training and guarding for martial classes, research and reading for arcane spellcasters, etc.) netted you a grand total of 1XP/day. This seems very small and the progression works out like this: Assume 250 'working' days/year. Reach 2nd level after 4 years (for an average person, he is now 20) Reach 3rd level after 12 years (aged 28) Reach 4th level after 24 years (aged 40) Reach 5th level after 40 years (aged 56) Reach 6th level after 60 years (aged 76) So most people will reach 5th level in an average working career: more than the stipulated 2nd or 3rd in the DMG for most ordinary classes, and not as high as the proposed system here (whereby they reach 8th/9th level). This provides enough difference between the old experienced master and the young apprentice without making the old roofer 8th/9th level. [/QUOTE]
