Well why not go even a further step to reality. Let people band together
so that 10 level 2 characters have a good chance at overthrowing "Mongar". 
This could even go a long way to all the wimps building cities, paying 
level 20 creatures a fee to protect them and so forth. There should be an
option to produce a "gang", which is stronger than all these people
fighting seperately.

Just rambling along...
