[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3966359, member: 710"] The tiers seem to define what kind of adventure will fit into a certain level range. This will make it clearer when you're moving out of the "local town hero" range toward the country-former and world-shaker range. They might also be useable to determine what kind of adventurers occupies higher level PCs and why they don't get into the lower-level stuff. There might be other high level adventurers and heroes around, but you don't really know where they are just now, and what they have to do. This can be used for heroes of equal level/tier then the PCs. Yes, there was the adventure group that managed to stop the goblin raids on this town. But they left town to visit another area, and little is known about them. Unfortunately, the Ruins of the Castle of Despair weren't spawning undeads every day when they were still around, so they couldn't fix that... There might be an epic level wizard around in the country, but little is known about his whereabouts, and he probably doesn't know (and possibly doesn't care!) about the Castle of Despair. Which leaves only the PCs to fix this. Furthermore, the 4E monster rules with differentiation between regular monsters, minions, elites and solos might also serve to provide NPCs that could - in numbers - be as effective as the PCs for a task - but they would also mean costly losses no town will afford if there are wandering heroes around that will do it for glory and gold, probably survive and bring back the treasures to pay the towns ale and whores...
