I started reading in that topic and found something I never noticed.
An early post pointed out that Halsin is probably level 18 and the current shown level is wrong.
Made me wonder how many other levels are jsut placeholders, because levels after 5 are not coded in.

This is the post:

For example, Haslin is not a level 5 druid. He can cast spells while transformed into a bear, that means he is at least level 18th. His HP match a level 18 druid too. You can take have him as a temporary companion to clear the goblins. I suspect many people would complaining if he read Level 18 or CR 18 instead of just level 5.


I think the level indicator is misleading and probably not worth the hassle.
Not sure about seeing levels or not. On the one hand they are useful to help people see if a fight is actually winable, but on the other hands it is kinda gamey to know that.
