[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1303693, member: 5777"] I know which part you are talking about, that particular part of the world strikes me as 'bizarro-land'. 5th level characters should not be gods, they are barely even into the world, they arent even in prestige classes yet. It would be hard to have whole organizations dotted all over the place. Those 1st level commoners are effectively the same as children between the ages of 0 and 15, relative ages of course. If you have a profession you start getting exp, if you interact with the world you get exp. It goes against that particular part of the dmg to be sure, and I know that. But it has to be one of the crazier things around. Mainly it seems like a throwback to earlier editions where characters didnt really do anything after level 9 or so, and all of the townsfolk were level 0. They could do nothing nor did they ever get better. 160 Level 1's with a few maybe up to 8 or so. How did they get to be level 8? How come those level 1 people didnt hit level 2? Its not a big step, especially after say 10 years of a profession. Not everyone can be a layabout who doesnt do anything at all. Ahh well. sorry for the highjack, I'll go back to my happy little world where people can have a modicrum of potential, and heros have heroic potential. Sorry to bother ;) [/QUOTE]
