I have enough zero in real life. In my fun time I want to be at minimum a 3 or 4.
That scales way too fast for plausibility, especially with 5e's 8 hour napynap insta-recovery & in worlds lacking in things like modern widespread internet/broadcast telecommunications(ie all of them). It starts out ok till 5ish & just fires up the rocket sled to fly off the rails from there. Players would need something like code geass/death note protagonist level fame for that kind of notoriety growth & both of those take place with tv radio & internet being a thing.It is simple, and easy to remember. (Round off the 3.16... to 3.) Use as approximations of clout.

What planet? 2022 earth has a little under 8billion people. in 1900 it was 2billion. 1800 was 1 billion. 1700 was a little over 600 million.I want a scale that goes from close family to planet.
The fame is working as intended.
Also, each tier feels distinctively different. The fame comes with different kinds of challenges that affect more and more people. The Student Tier is about a school or village. The Professional Tier is about doing ones job for a town. The Master Tier is about influencing and saving a large city or small nation. The Arch Tier is about saving a continent. The Legend Tier is about saving the planet.
In my settings, using magic to communicate and travel is normal. Divination notices things. Distant nations often stay in communication with each other.
We are including nonhumans in D&D.What planet? 2022 earth has a little under 8billion people. in 1900 it was 2billion. 1800 was 1 billion. 1700 was a little over 600 million.
Even still, no setting has the density of intelligent/sapient beings needed to hit those numbers without hypotheticals like starfish alien hive minds all over & it's still a stretch. There is also the fact that it's easier for a gm to dial up things than to claw things back & dial stuff down.We are including nonhumans in D&D.![]()
Pretty much. As far back as I can remember, a 1st-level PC has never been an untrained, callow youth. Every PC was assumed to have received some training in their class - a 1st-level fighter was even called a "Veteran", implying that they have been involved in several battles already. (As an aside, a 4th-level fighter was called a "Hero" so technically going from Zero to Hero means the campaign should end when the fighter reaches 4th level.)I tend to run "competent adventurers" to "more competent adventurers".
If you want a zero start, they provided one with the “survivors” from Ravenloft.Sadly...
