At paragon level you can go into the Underdark (most Underdark monsters are paragon level) and start visiting other planes (you can jump to most planes around 14th to 18th level, but there are "crossing" rituals that let you visit the Feywild and the Shadowfell at 4th to 6th level).I think LotR would be mainly a heroic level world. Only a very few characters, such as Sauron, would be even paragon level. Aragorn would probably be a high heroic warlord multiclassed with ranger. He seems to have the Delay Affliction ritual, which is 6th-level, but could potentially take it at 4th-level with an appropriate feat.D&D equates character level with combat prowess, which can cause an odd disconnect at times. Elrond is a great healer, so presumably high level, but he's not a badass in a fight. He's not a pacifist healer either (he did take part in battles in the past). I think the best fix is to make him low level, but give him a custom immovable item that really boosts his Remove Affliction and let him raise floods, etc. The item could literally be the magic "soaking" the land of Rivendell (an intangible magical field). Since it can't move, he isn't going to adventure. People bring their wounded to him instead... which is exactly what happened in the books.So what would we do with Arwen? I'm not sure she's high level either. I think she's just a Noldor with a few more character levels than most, plus a royal bloodline.</blockquote>
