The Tiers of Play
I have chosen to use 5 tiers of play (names subject to change). Various things will use Tier levels as a matrix. Magical items, for example, may start to behave differently once a new tier is reached.
-
Tier 1: Levels 1-4 – Local Heroes
-
Tier 2: Levels 5-8 – Heroes of the Region
-
Tier 3: Levels 9-12 – Heroes of the Realm
-
Tier 4: Levels 13-16- Masters of the Realm
-
Tier 5: Levels 17-20 – Masters of the World
As described in the DMG, the tiers of play are as follows
