Your level does not measure your strength in CKMud. Players are level 1 or 2,
and staff hold levels 3 to 10. What measures you is your Base PL and the tier
it puts you in, then your remort and prestige levels.
How it works:
- Base PL is the power you have trained. Fights, training and other gains raise
it; forms raise your maximum PL but not your Base PL.
- Your tier comes from your Base PL alone, and Equipment lists the Base PL each
tier needs.
- Gear of a tier can only be worn once you reach that tier: "Only a powerlevel
of <amount> or greater could wear that."
- Some requests look at your tier too: request ultimate needs tier 6, see
Boosted, Supreme and Ultimate.
- While your Base PL is under 1,000,000 you count as a newbie. Once you pass
it, newbie areas close to you with "Your Base Powerlevel is too high to go
there anymore.", and rivals start to find you, see Rivals.
- Remorting and prestige add levels of their own, see Remort and Prestige.
Where you see it:
- whois <name> shows a player's Base PL as Power, the name of their tier, and
their remort and prestige levels. The tier names run Trainee, Adept, Warrior,
Ascended, Sensei and Savior, then Legend for every tier above.
