It is the equivalent of saying that all people who fight in wars are cold blooded killers. Yes many PC's might be cold blooded killers, but that is something that is role played out. It seems to me that the reasoning for most hero adventurers would be to put a stop to cold blooded murderers (like orcs). Also stating that peasants are not cold blooded murders can be questioned, I mean how would you qualify witch burning? You just can't apply those broad terms like that, how do you know I don't have a character that cries for the soul of every thing he kills (I don't but I could). Being a hero is based on deeds not levels, a 1st level fighter who pulls a baby out of the way of a run away wagon is a hero, the 8th level fighter who raids tombs and kills monsters only for his own wealth or advancement is not a hero.My whole take on the NPC level vs age thing is this, by what I have read the point I saw was that my grandmother can beat me up based solely on the fact that she is older, thus more experienced. Once again giving exp. by age is to broad of a generalization, can a 40 year old carpenter take out three 17 year old street thugs? how about two, well how about one? Does age really matter, well it could but you also have to take into account a lot of other variables.In our game the only NPC's who have levels are the ones who might be important, if they are not a part of the story they are considered 1st level. Farmers are first level based solely on the fact that it would just be more reasonable for our setting, are there tougher farmers out there, yes but only if they have a role in the adventure that requires more out of them. It's just easier to DM that way.</blockquote>
