I had this "aha" moment a few weeks ago, sketched it out, and shared it. Unfortunately, that drained all the endorphins out of it, and I never got around to really exploring the idea fully. I still think it has merit, though, so I'm going to post it here in hopes that either a) blog dialectics will transfer the idea to someone more productive or b) I will return to it in time.
My goals with listing this out is to make explicit what is implied by the rules of OD&D. I think there's fertile ground there (still).
Don't forget some of the fun Implications of those "Level Titles" as well :)
