[QUOTE="Grog, post: 3673947, member: 6183"] But like I said, that has nothing to do with character level, which is what's being discussed in this thread. Sure, characters gain contacts and resources and knowledge over the course of a campaign - but the degree to which this happens is completely campaign-dependent. You can play a campaign where 5th level characters have the ear of kings and princes, and you can play a campaign where 15th level characters don't know any nobles at all. Similarly, you can play a campaign where 2nd level characters have [b]vastly[/b] more potential than 1st level characters because of contacts and knowledge and whatnot, and if that's the type of campaign you enjoy, more power to you - but I hardly think this is the norm for D&D. (And if you're going to play this type of campaign, the PCs could just as easily have these contacts and this knowledge at 1st level - there's no reason they'd have to wait for 2nd). The point is, stuff that can happen at any time regardless of character level is irrelevant to a discussion about character level. [/QUOTE]
