Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thomas Hobbes" data-source="post: 475469" data-attributes="member: 8623">Another, similar system I've seen in regard to NPC (specifically, the average commoner, although I'm sure it could be applied elsewhere) advancement over time was to treat each year as a CR 1, meaning that they level slightly slower than yours would, gaining only 300 xp/year instead of 365. It was posted by one of the head game designers of the D&D rulebook IIRC, though I'd be hard pressed to tell you which.  So the advancement for a human would go15: level 119: level 225: level 335: level 449: level 565: level 685: level 7And would die just short of level 8.  It's important to note that starting at level 7, those CR 1 years start granting less experience, and after level 8 stop granting any experience at all.  The two systems seem equally good except for this point, because it means that you can have elves not becoming a seemingly out of place high level without making them “learn slower”, which has always seemed a bit odd to me.  So that’s my hopefully constructive criticism of the system.As for the characters, well… I first of all really like the concept of following an NPC's advancement throughout life, and I think you’ve executed it creatively and well.  Good job, I’ll be seeking out the rest of these now. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
