Population breakdowns

In the campaign of Fort Vickery, the overall breakdown of worldwide population by level is 50% of the population is first level, 50% of the remainder is second level, 50% of the remainder is third level and so on. This means that a paragon level character can be found 1 out of 1024 people, and an epic level character 1 out of 1048576.

At each level, the population can be further broken down into 3 groups: minions, NACs and ACCs.

Minions (often referred to as NPC classed) have 1 hit point and are never damaged by misses. Their levels are used primarily to determine skill levels. Minions have no healing surges, and 1 feat per tier.

Non-Adventuring Characters (NACs) are more formidable than minions. Most often than not, they are drawn from the DnD compendium. They have one healing surge per tier, and 1 feat plus an additional feat per tier. Exceptional NACs sometimes carry a single magic item.

Adventuring Class Characters (ACC's) are the most potent of characters. All player characters are ACCs.
