[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6809232, member: 16814"] Titles are something an organization creates to separate the tiers of responsibility and privilege. What are the organizations these classes belong to, and what are those organization's interested in promoting? Simply earning levels, which quite often is done without furthering the goals of an organization at all, shouldn't be the source of new titles. Furthering the goals of the organization should. For a Wizard's group, furthering the collection of magical knowledge, increasing magical skill, and bringing prestige to the organization should be worthwhile goals. While increasing skill is closely tied to level, it's only one dimension of the organization -- it shouldn't be enough by itself to obtain the highest levels of prestige. For Cleric groups, it's the furtherance of the church's power and prestige and the furthering the goals of the patron god that count. Skill is probably lower on their concern charts, which is why a similar structure for titles seems more out of tune than that for wizards. [/QUOTE]
