[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 4118833, member: 4090"] Well, during the course of D&D, he went from 3rd level or thereabouts (the introductory module in the Red Box) to level 15 by Gazetteer 1: Grand Duchy of Karameikos. Then he went (somehow) from 15 to level 28 by the time Poor Wizard's Almanac AC 1010 came around (about 13 D&D levels in 10 years- which seems a bit excessive, even if you consider that there was war going on in the Known World for much of that period). In AD&D terms, he got translated from a level 28 wizard to a level 17 wizard. "Official" TSR conversion guidelines were at that time every 3 levels above level 12 D&D = 1 level AD&D, so that put him at about the equivalent conversion level. The Paizo/Dungeon module (where he's level 7) is more or less a direct 3E conversion of the Red Box module (with fleshing out of lower levels that wasn't in the Red Box), so depending on when you run it, it can either be that early version of Bargle or someone else (per Gazetteer 4: Kingdom of Ierendi, Bargle has a nephew named Bargle that lives in the Ierendi Isles and is a shady character in his own right.) In any event, he's a pretty interesting character. One of my favorites. [/QUOTE]
