How many levels?

[Steely_Dan]

See; now Im lost and cold and alone, and there are wolves after me; but I like the idea of 20 being the Don, which it seems to be in 5th Ed, anything over 18 is huge.

I loved 1e's progression. It worked out fine for us for years.

How many levels should 5e have? Thirty, twenty, ten?

I've never needed more than 12...

I've never needed more than 12...

That sounds about right, after about 12th level is when 3rd Ed became a bit too unwieldy to DM, for me.

What, do you need to be able to stand next to mountains and chop them down with the edge of your hand?

Well, WotC did say that they were going to support all D&D play styles in 5e...
