Wilderlands Under-Powered NPC's
Ok, ao I am thinking of statting up a few NPC's in Thunderhold. After a quick look I find that the king is level 6 fighter / aristocrat 2. Really? The leader of the Axe Banner Legion is 4th. I...

That is true, and a good point. But the king, the leader of the elite army known as the hero of the legion, and the other leaders, all under 5th level or even lower. Just seems under-powered.

I'm with you Snoring Rock. Give 'em a good old fashioned re-write. I do that when converting them to Conan RPG as well. Ship's captain a Level 3 Rogue? Nah, the guy is a level 8 Pirate! Aristocrat...

I actually really like this about the Wilderlands. I mean, it's cool to have the overlord at level 20, but I'm really glad there's no Sylune/Symbul/Elminster type UltraCabals going on. It actually...

I think either retiring after that level or moving to a more political game is best. Still some insist on high level combat. For their DMs, there is the ELH.

Mulling it over re demographics - I think 12th level is right for a typical dwarf warlord in 3e or 4e, such as the King of Thunderhold. His best knights/dwarven defenders would be in the ca 7th-11th...
