That is a good point. I guess my initial thought is that it is a hard break, like lvl 20 in 5e. If you go past this point you are saying this the type of game you want to play. Otherwise, stay level 1-10. The game is full featured in levels 1-10 (in 5e terms take everything in 1-20 and mush it down to 1-10).
Different people find different things boring so can’t argue there.
Which depends on what you would call a balance or mechanical gameplay issue.
You can. Like I said, the level of the cap is irrelevant. It could be at level 50. My point is that there is a line somewhere. I just chose 10 for the reasons I stated. Level only means what we decide it means. You can have a full featured game that is only 10 levels (or 5).
That brings up an interesting point.
I’m not concerned with the line between supernatural and not supernatural.
you already can, more or less, but nobody tells the people with the magic class fantasies 'oh sorry you can only play below 10th level, or compromise your desired aesthetic' it's a double standard.
My personal favorite at the moment would be classes go to level 1-10. Then you can choose a paragon class from level 11-20 (kind of like a prestige class from 3e). Paragon class would compliment your abilities and provide an explanation for how you are progressing to supernatural levels of power.
Magic is always supernatural. It can be toned down to be on par with non-supernatural, but it can also scale up to be one of the strongest supernatural forces in the world.
The thread suggests Mundane Martials be supernatural not because they don't make sense but because the system does not support it and they cannot get hardliners to create a system that support it
