For PCs it is important to link the dragonmarks' power to the characters' overall power level, and for that, a level-based progression works well.It really doesn't matter how you treat dragonmarks for NPCs - they can follow totally different rules, or no hard-and-fast rules at all. In the Eberron setting, that's pretty much working as intended.</blockquote>
