Could he instead have 20 1st & 15 2nd? Have each 1st count as 1/3rd that of a 2nd? ~Or simply have a point system, such as 1st lvl people being 1 point, 2nd lvl= 3 points, 3rd lvl= 9 points, and perhaps have them multiply by 3 for each higher lvl? ~So instead of a character having a leadership score of 20, he could have 131 leadership points. ~Thoughts/ criticism encouraged.

Someone 05-14-07, 02:24 AM	Part of the numbers is an assumption that there just aren't that many 2nd level NPCs compared to 1st level NPCs. If I were DM, I might allow 1/10, so long as there are still twice as many 1st level as 2nd level. So in this case, 20 1st and 8 2nd.
The_sleeper1 05-14-07, 10:57 AM	As a DM I would let you do that but mabey do the cost of any class as lv X lv Lv 1 = 1 pt Lv 2 = 4 pts Lv 3 = 9 pts Lv 4 = 16 pts Lv 5 = 25 pts Lv 6 = 36 pts etc.... modifed as follows (to a min cost of 1 pt): -1 for a base melee class or common class like fighter or rogue +1 for a uncommon class like cleric, druid or bard X2 for a rare/powerful class like wizard or psion
