[QUOTE="Captain NeMo, post: 2191767, member: 29615"] Okay then...question is now...what power level? My idea of the various power levels are: [b][u]Low[/u][/b] [list] [*]Most people are level 1-3 and the overwhelming majority are NPC classes. [*]The newbie wizard who has been training in a library is 2nd level. The newly initiated knight is a 1st level fighter (after lots of training). The town constable will be a 3rd level warrior (unless in a large city where training is necessary, not just experience). [*]The mightiest warriors of the realm are 7th level. Chances are the king/queen/general is about this level. [*]To most people anything above that level is indistinguishable and superhuman. The heroes of legend are 15th level tops. [/list][b][u]Medium[/u][/b] [list] [*]NPC 16/Base Adult Age year olds are first level. Middle age is 2-3rd. Old age is 4th. Venerable will be 5th. [*]PC classes are special, but not rare. In all cities you'll be able to find a few wizards, clerics etc. [*]Grunts are 1-2 level, warriors. Cavalry are 3rd. Regiment leaders will probably be the same level as their regiments, but fighters (or equivilent PC class). [*]The most powerful characters in the kingdom are about 15th level. 16+ characters are the stuff of heroic tales. Few epic characters, but it happens. [/list][b][u]High[/u][/b] [list] [*]NPCs can sometimes get to 10th level in their lifespans. This is helped on considerably by the fact that there are frequent monster raids, plots to rule the world, portals from hell opened up and malicous artifacts explodinating people. [*]PC classes are commonplace and most people have the ability to become one. Regardless, few do try to and even fewer survive the training required for it. [*]The mightiest heroes are epic, and an occasional few wizards have founded academies teaching many other pupils. [/list] At least, that's an approximate breakdown. Probably no one will agree with me, but whatever. [/QUOTE]
