One of the consistently difficult to rationalize aspects of Dungeons & Dragons is the disconnect between mechanics and fiction on what it means to level up as an adventurer, and this is exacerbated by the fact the heroes can go from level 1 to 20 in about a month according to the 5e DnD rules. Older editions of DnD have paced character levels differently, and prior to 3e each class leveled at a different rate. Some campaigns are full of high-level characters bearing the power of demigods, like Forgotten Realms, while Eberron rarely sees an NPC above character level 10.
