[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 73663, member: 2002"] [b]It seems to me...[/b] That in a D&D Society, being a minor noble would actually be a burden. A job not to be desired by most people, kinda like how I view Management jobs. If you've ever run an organization (like a softball league or a game group or bowling team or anything like that) then you know how much work is involved, often thanklessly. In the D&D world, you've got all manner of dangers around every corner, not to mention the equivalent of small armies (Adventurers) roaming through your lands at will, killing your hired guards and causing trouble. And lucky you, you get to deal with all this crap while putting up with those above you and their insane demands. Now if you're the upwardly mobile Adventurer type, being a Baron is a nuisance. Being a Duke is a political and social convenience at best, a major headache on most days. Unless that's your life's goal, which it very well could be for some people. It *is* the proto-typical D&D goal - to carve a new 'fief' out of the wilderness and become a noble yourself. [/QUOTE]
