[QUOTE="UndeadScottsman, post: 3722844, member: 12066"] After 20 levels, your grumpy, uncompromising Dwarf has learned enough through his adventures about how to better articulate why he's so grumpy and uncompromising. So, when the King's guards say that he cannot take his weapons into the Kings chamber, he goes from "You'll take my axe when you pry 'em from my cold, dead hands" and possibly causing an incident at early levels to "It would be an insult to my ancestors, including my father who left me this axe when he died, to let a non dwarf lay hands upon my weapon." and then being politely asked to wait outside, or even be allowed into the chamber after impressing the King's advisor with his honor. Likewise, with the 20th Wizard and 1st Barbarian having similar intimidates, it's the difference between "Raaaaarghhh! Thog smash!" and "I am a master of the arcane arts and if you take another step, I shall call down forces you could scarely understand and obliterate you." That, coming from what is apparently a high level wizard, should be at least as scary as a low level barbarian screaming and charging at you. Likewise, for the high level Wizard having a decent climb check; you'd think after the 20th thing he's had to climb over, and hanging out with other adventures who can climb up stuff, he'd pick a few things up and at least be able to climb up an average cliff with no problem (He won't be doing any advanced rock climbing, but he can get around at least) [/QUOTE]
