You said : "I prefer to play in a rational world, not one where people just pop in at 16th or 27th level. They all adventured and gained experience though another similar method, or they would be first level."However, that is not always the case. There are times when simply being gifted with enough power translates into character levels. So, a small child who gains a fragment of a gods power could be statted as a leveled character despite having never gone on a single adventure. And it is still rational, following the rules of the world, if not neccesarily the rules for normal mortals. They were talking about an Eberron priestess who is "stuck" in her temple because she is a level 20 character in the temple, but only level 3 outside of it. That idea of someone whose level and power varies according to the location is not one I have thought to put in DnD before. I think you are misreading the spirit of the comment. [MENTION=6812658]Seramus[/MENTION] is saying that depicting Elminster (who is a notorious busybody who gets into everyone's business) as someone who can't be bothered to get involved in your characters business is kind of like depicting Zeus as someone who respects women. It goes against the normal expectations of that character.And you can claim "my fictional character my fictional rules for how he acts" and I'm sure we can find all sorts of fan fiction which claims the same thing and no one would agree it was an actual depiction of the original character.</blockquote>
