It can be cool even if it doesn't go to 11...

And WotC said that there will be 10 levels of spells?

Looks like spells cap at 7th level.

I'd like 10 to be the pinnacle level. Post 10th level you can still level up but when you do some stuff start to deteriorate. Physical skills and to hit and such become worse whereas only some mental skills and spells are allowed to grow.

This is almost the worst game idea I've ever heard.

I'm for many levels. It the new game out with 36 levels, I'd be ecstatic.

What about using "modules" to expand levels? It's not like we haven't seen that before with BECMI. Maybe 12 levels is core and two additional 12 level modules (expert or advanced or companion...) to take it to 36?

This was my original thought. Start with fewer levels, expand it like BECMI did. Not necessarily 12/36 though, 10/20 would work alright, along with some sort of expanded epic/immortal rules set, as well.

I've been advocating for 1-10, if only for the ability to have meaningful bonuses that fit on a 1d20 roll across (most) class levels.

I also advocate we drop 3.x Character Class and go back to separate class levels with their ranks side-by-side.
