Message: <blockquote data-quote="Papewaio of The Org" data-source="post: 3164120" data-attributes="member: 35704">Using D&D paradigm.Gandalf was about the equivalent of a demi-god and only 'leveled' once... gray to white.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> All the hobbits would have been starting out characters.  While the rest of the nine were definitly highly experienced and elite heroes of their respective nations and 3 of them where the heirs to the leadership of the nations they represented (Boromir was next to be the steward of Gondor, Legolas was a Prince of Mirkwood? and Strider was already the leader of the northern rangers).  So they would be say 10th level plus (Lords). Using the books and the movies when the hobbits leave the shire they have all the equipment for a hike but nothing for a battle, when they  return to the shires they are kitted out like most adventurers... armed to the teeth... but even then two of them are regarded as squires... definitly well short of 10th level let alone 20th.The other members of the nine might have gone up a couple of levels from say 10 to 13 or 15 to 17.  Strider is a bit more unusual given his heritage... mind you in the D&D paradigm that would be say a LA of +4.The level 20/epic characters would have been the Herald Elrond and the other ring wielder the Elven Queen.  But as seen they wouldn't have leveled because they were too busy churning out items and advice for the much younger adventurers.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
