Then again, I don't think it is unsurmountable problem. If it indeed is true in the world that trolls are more dangerous than ogres then that is diegetically knowable in the same way than in real world it is knowable that tiger is way more dangerous than a tapir even though they're roughly the same size.Though with things that have levels it gets weirder. If humans can get to past level ten, then then a thing that looks like human can be way more dangerous than an average troll! But I try to treat levels as 'true' in the fiction too. You don't just randomly encounter high level people, they would be legendary mythic heroes known far and wide. So when introducing NPCs I try to communicate their 'epicness.'</blockquote>
