[QUOTE="timASW, post: 6036134, member: 6698787"] Theres nothing unnecesary about having a thoroughly detailed world. A campaign world doesnt revolve around the characters and cease to exist when they exist stage left. It should keep going and evolving as people respond to developments in the world. Having a thoroughly detailed world makes that better. This fallacy of butt kicking commoners is something you've brought up over and over again and its simply a ridiculous strawman. Most of those NPC classes gain +1 ATT bonus every 3 or 4 levels, so even metropolis size cities should only have 4 or 5 10th level NPC's. Who will certainly be gaurds and wizardly adepts, not farmers and still only have a +3 ATT. So do i think theres a problem with the fact the occasional farmer who uses tools (tools which historically doubled as militia weapons) every day for a decade or two is good enough at swinging it to get a +1? No I am not. Nor am I terribly concerned that a tough old laborer might have a whole 9 or 10 HP. IF he's managed 3rd or fourth level. As a D6 HP with no con bonus only nets you 3 HP a level. No, its square pegs with square holes in a very tidy way of categorizing the universe. Its absolute true verisimilitude, everything works the same way for everyone. Thats the right way to do things. Your assertion assumes theres any final intent other creating a believable logical NPC. Thats another strawman. The intent has nothing to do with the PC's which seems to be your assertion. I dont give a damn HOW NEW you are as a DM. If you have a hard time managing Level+3 max skill ranks you have no business whatsoever behind the screen. Put it down and hand it over to someone else who can manage it. [/QUOTE]
