Dragon #72	-	1st Edition AD&D	-	Dragon magazine

The custom of giving each level within
every character class its own distinctive
name, at least for the first eight or so
levels, dates back to the original D&D®
rules of 1973. At that time, there were
exactly three official roles played in the
game, and of these provision was made
for clerics of up to eighth level (L 8),
fighters of up to L 9, and magic-users of
up to L 11. (The experience point tables
went no higher.) It appears that the original
concept was that characters would
use the level names in gaming as designations
of rank or skill, instead of using
the overall character class name. This
makes a kind of superficial sort of sense,
since it is a matter of pride to have
achieved high rank in any field. And
since a character will be spending any
number of expeditions in practice at a
given level, giving that level a name to go
by must have looked useful.

The problem is that, as a practical matter,
the level names are not useful. How
many D&D or AD&D™ players memorize
the level names of all the character
classes? How many actually refer to
their characters by their official level
names? If you were trying to fill out a
well-balanced party, would you tell the
players that they have a Swashbuckler, a
Hero, a Theurgist, and a Village Priest
to choose from? Based on my own experience
in playing regularly over the years
with four groups, plus watching what
happens at conventions, I am inclined to
doubt it. The actual practice I have seen
is to tell the players you have two fighters,
one L 4 and one L 5, plus a L 4
magic-user and a L 3 cleric to fill in
needed places in the party.

Well, you might say, whether or not the
level names are widely used in gaming,
they look neat in the rulebooks. And
besides, why not offer them to the minority
of gamers who may actually want to
use them? Because there are not enough
descriptive words to go around to supply
distinctive names for every level of every
character class.

It is obvious that the authors of the
level tables delved deeply into their thesauruses
in producing names for levels.
For example, the cleric table in the original
D&D rules lists the levels titles as
Acolyte, Adept, Village Priest, Vicar,
Curate, Bishop, Lama, and Patriarch, On
a purely technical level, several of these
make no sense: Vicar and Curate are lay
titles, and the title “Adept” is traditionally
reserved for magic-users of the highest
level of skill. On the character level,
many of the clerical titles used are far too
specific to actual religions to be usable
as general-purpose game terms. You
would no more speak of a “Bishop” of a
Tibetan monastery than you would speak
of a “Lama” of a Catholic diocese, yet the
rules have them as the official titles for all
L 7 and L 8 clerics.

Other level titles leave one wondering
whether the authors gave much consideration
to the real-life meanings of the
words chosen. The list of level names for
magic-users is a particularly good example
of this problem, since most of the
names have specific reference to distinct
types of specialization in magic, and yet
all are used as if they meant nothing but
“magic-user.” A Medium contacts the
spirits of the dead; a Seer foretells the
future; a Conjurer summons things or
creatures, and so forth. A Necromancer
specializes in the undead, and might be a
more appropriate title for an evil high
priest than for a L 8 magic-user.

Both the fighter and cleric tables show
another fallacy in the use of names for
levels. At level 9, a fighter has enough
status to be appointed Baron, or its campaign
equivalent, and build a castle. So
at L 9, a fighter is titled “Lord” or “Lady.”
At L 7, a cleric is titled “Bishop.” The
problem with this approach is that a
given character may or may not have
achieved sufficient social status for the
Powers That Be to hand out the official
responsibilities that underlie those titles.
The fallacy lies in using job titles for level
names, since a level is a reflection of
accumulated skill but has nothing whatsoever
to do with the character’s being
actually promoted to hold official titles
of nobility or ecclesiastical rank.

The use of level names for character
classes has little practical use in gaming,
and tends to create more problems than
it is worth. I suggest that DRAGON™
Magazine stop including level names
from now on in character class articles.
(Editor’s note: The suggestion is noted.
However, in the interest of consistency
and uniformity, we’ll continue to publish
level titles in experience-level charts for
variant NPC classes. We try to present
new classes in a form that’s as compatible
as possible with the official rules.
Readers who do use level titles to refer to
their characters will also be able to do so
for variant NPCs they might want to try
out, and those who don’t use level titles
haven’t been ‘hurt” by our inclusion of
them in the articles. As a practical matter,
level titles are hardly ever mentioned
in any other type of article, but we’ll continue
to do so when such a usage is
appropriate to the nature and tone of the
article.)

Eliminating the level titles has the
further advantage that by standardizing
terms, we make possible a simple abbreviation
system. By ignoring the various
arbitrary level names and standardizing
on the character-class names as the
game term, you can then abbreviate the
character-class names and add the appropriate
level number in describing
characters. Fighter would be abbreviated
“F,” cleric would be “C,” thief “T,” magicuser
“MU,” druid “D,” bard “B,” monk
“MK,” illusionist “I,” paladin “P,” and
ranger “R,” for example. You could then
easily note the composition of a group of
NPCs for convenience, thus: F2, F2, F2,
F3, F4, C4, MU3, T4. This also adds consistency
and detail to the customary
abbreviations to describe a player character,
since “F3 L/N 14/11/9/10/11/6”
would be readily understood to mean “A
fighter of third level, alignment lawful
neutral, having Strength 14, Intelligence
11, Wisdom 9, Constitution 10, Dexterity
11, and Charisma 6.”

Dear Editor:
“Up on a Soapbox” has always been one of
my favorite columns in DRAGON, and I’ve
never really had any arguments with the opinions
expressed in it over many issues. However,
after reading John T. Sapienza, Jr.'s essay
in issue #72, “Level titles don’t do justice,” I
finally disagreed.

I don’t argue with his objections to the technical
applications of level names; it would be
silly to speak of a Tibetan bishop or a Catholic
lama, but the idea is for titles to represent a
progression from 1st level onwards — if some
titles are inappropriate, then that is because it
is difficult to find technically appropriate
names that would accurately describe each
level and also fit into any campaign culture.

I admire Mr. Sapienza's proposed abbreviatory
system for character stats, and plan to use
it in the future. But I also like the character
class level names, and plan to continue using
them. I take pride in having my paladin enter
a town and announce himself as “Medraut the
Defender,” and hope to raise him to where he
may call himself a Paladin — a title he will
have earned through many adventures and
noble deeds.

In short, Mr. Sapienza put forth a good
argument in defense of his point, but I doubt
anyone will be “hurt” by the continued inclusion
of level titles, and I don’t think it was
necessary [for him] to get “Up on a Soapbox”
to demand their withdrawal.
