In the Durkon entry it states that his character level is 15 because that's what's required to deafen Belkar.

Is this an example of circular reasoning?
By other independent evidence, we had a minimum level for Belkar and a maximum level for Durkon. Holy Word established that they were exactly one level apart, and the combination of that with the other limits could only be satisfied by Durkon at 15 and Belkar at 16.
