Demonwolf 07-26-03, 01:00 AM	i have a question. What level of power does character level indicate in FR? Here is my guess- a lv1-5 fighter is along the lines of an average small-city soldier with moderate training, a young adventurer starting out in his career (cheap fixer-upper apartment, mundane weapons, struggling for good jobs, etc) or something like that. a lv5-10 fighter is probably an experienced and well trained soldier, like a cormyrian purple dragon or Silveraen knight in silver, or a middle class adventurer with a comfortable lifestyle, settled into his career. a lv10-15 fighter is a lieutenant or general, elite core soldier or a mercenary in high demand. a lv15-20 fighter is a famous and widely known adventurer, a poweful military leader, an elite mercenary hired by kings and nobles. tell me if i got the general idea right.

For generals and officer types i make them Fighter/experts or somesuch to give them additional knowledge skills and profession skills reflecting the additional non-battlefield training they have received.

It’s when you get into the purple dragon knights and stuff that you get into fighter levels. Also remember levels don't equal military rank. you can have a special forces staff sgt with experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, be say a 8-9 level fighter, but he would still have to take orders from a lieutenant who is a 1st level fighter. make sense? but yea the original idea is about right. but even a 3rd level fighter is a king among warriors LH
