Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasin" data-source="post: 3475835" data-attributes="member: 7531">I'd bet on "no".A giant, immensely old dragon who slaughters armies doesn't fit a group of farmboys who are fed up with country life and decided to try their hand at adventure. A pair of goblin raiders doesn't fit the most renowned swordsman in the world.This has little to do with levels. This is simply the consequence of the conceit that some people (or monsters) are more powerful and competent than others, which is a pretty central conceit of D&D. You could do away with levels, but unless you do away with the very concept of "levelling" in a wider sense, the sense of gaining power as you play, you'll still have monsters and adventure which fit one group but not the other due to power level.I'd argue that enjoyment in play is the best kind of justification a game element could ever have.</blockquote>
