What's the rush? Has the "here and now" been replaced by the "next level" attitude?

[QUOTE="ForeverSlayer, post: 6286502, member: 91812"] Show me anywhere that says a pirate overlord begins at a apecific level? The problem I see here is expectations are set too high. There is no mechanical power called "pirate overlord" that you need to activate. There is also no power associated with a pirate overlord. Skills, feats, and gear are all that is needed in this situation and all are provided for. The enemy ladder doesn't exist in all aspects of the game. If you become a pirate overlord at 4th level, that doesn't mean there is automatically going to be a pirate a few levels higher waiting to try his luck. Characters don't walk around with their level over their heads. Hell, his first mate could be higher level and stronger, but that overlord could have gained the respect of that first mate so that is why he is first mate and not captain. Higher mechanical power doesn't always put you above others except if you are just comparing the numbers. [/QUOTE]
