1st to 20th with same character

[Quasqueton]

Have you ever completed a campaign or adventure path (in D&D3) with the same character* from 1st level** to 20th level***?

You can answer as a DM, too. Have you seen a character go from 1st to 20th level?

* Doesn't mean the character never died---could have been raised or such
** 1st level, or whatever very low level the campaign started at---2nd, 3rd
*** 20th level, or whatever very high level the campaign ended at---18th, 19th, 21st

I've voted "yes", although in truth I haven't. Instead, I DMed a party through the Age of Worms which saw two of the original characters progress from 1st to 21st level.

Cheers!

Close. My very first character, Olaf the Stout, got from 1st level to 16th or 17th level before I had to leave the group to concentrate on my final year of high school. I managed not to get him killed in that time (although he did lose all of his possessions once), even surviving an Ettercap ambush that killed all but 2 PC's. I have played him a couple of times since then but he still hasn't made 20th level yet (I think he's still only 17th level).

Not even close. The highest I ever got was 11th or 12th level in a 3e game. And that was cheating as we got auto-rezzed with an xp hit whenever we died. Reckon I died about six times altogether.

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

No. I've DM'ed a 3e party to 13th level but at that point I lose interest usually since the game becomes super-heroes around that point and its just not my thing and it becomes too much of a chore to run 3e at that point. In early editions that level was pretty much retirement level and would often level slower so we would be ready for new PC's at that point.

Ran a 3.5 game that went from level 1 to 24-26 - only one character changed during that time.

Ran several games that went to about level 16 before ending.

I played in too that went super epic (48th level and 63rd) and one that stopped at 21st. All three of those characters started at first.

I have DMed two groups to 20th to 24th level in 3E.

I ran the original Adventure Path (The Sunless Citadel through Bastion of Broken Souls) in the Navy, with the characters topping out at 21 and 22. I voted "Almost" though as the party composition changed a few times such that none of the characters who started the series actually finished it. The group didn't have any really stable characters until the 5th adventure (Heart of Nightfang Spire).

 

[Mouseferatu]

Voted yes, but only because of your "almost" caveat. The campaign began at 3rd level (IIRC), and ended at 18th level.

20th level? What's that? In my thirty years of gaming I don't think I've ever gotten a character past 12th.
