I upgraded WordPress to 5.0, and added TLS/SSL (https) to the site, just to be more ‘professional’. I do actually have some professionally built branding I’m working on too that is in the works and should be finished soon. The main purpose of this post is to test out the new features and see how things look with the new text editor. 

I was curious about how many wizards of each level exist in the world of Solethania. I know that there is a total population of 500 million (this encompasses all sentient life born from the Material Plane). Of whom only 7.5 million (1.5%) are both capable of, and desire to become, a Wizard. 

Evenly distributing the levels 1-20 leaves an absolutely absurd number of level 20 Wizards (375,000). And I wanted to have high level (10+) wizards to be much rarer than lower level ones. So I decided it should probably be done with exponential decay. Pria Tama’s player was kind enough to calculate this out for me, because I am not very good at math.  I chose to end the calculation with one Level 17 wizard, because that’s the first level that can cast 9th Level spells, and I arbitrarily chose to have only one Level 17, 18,19, and 20 Wizard currently existing in Solethania. 

Honestly I think only Wizards, Fighters, and possibly Clerics can really be calculated this way, because of the nature of how other classes gain their powers and abilities. Maybe Rangers too, if I go by the number of wilderness explorers/mountain men of the early United States as a subset of the total population. 

The number of Wizards per level in the world of Solethania:

Level 1	4,584,551	Can cast 1st level spells
Level 2	1,826,706
Level 3	682,164	Can cast 2nd level spells
Level 4	254,747
Level 5	95,132	Can cast 3rd level spells
Level 6	35,526
Level 7	13,267	Can cast 4th level spells
Level 8	4,954
Level 9	1,850	Can cast 5th level spells
Level 10	691
Level 11	258	Can cast 6th level spells
Level 12	96
Level 13	36	Can cast 7th level spells
Level 14	13
Level 15	5	Can cast 8th level spells
Level 16	2
Level 17	1	Can cast 9th level spells
