[QUOTE="Luddite, post: 506369, member: 4099"] I have only started one campaign and the characters are only at level 7. They know that they are significant but they are also far from being some type of force of nature in the world. It is all about perspective. The first thing I did was get rid of the NPC level distribution in the DMG. Level one Warriors for Militas only occur in small towns that are realitively safe from conflict. And at that point they are usualy level 3-4 commoners instead, and they don't have any formal Militia. Second, is setting the scope. The Primary villan for the PCs is in his high teens. He is also a Dwarf Prince with about 10,000 person military, not to mention other subjects/followers. So I don't even have to go far to have the Players come across an opponent who is in the low teens. On the other side, the players are part of a group with a smililar high level leader though a much leaner power-base. If I were to start another game, it would depend on the players. If it were mostly new people, I would start them at level 1. But not realy introduce them to the world till about level 3. Otherwise, I would start at level 3 or 4. -The Luddite [/QUOTE]
