[QUOTE="Kyanus Ren, post: 559243, member: 8424"] I think that the speed of character progression is a decision to be made by the entire gaming group. Of course each member has their own reasons for playing and this might result in a difference of opinion (this seems to be what has happened in your case). This, however, is par for the course when a member of a group. Compromise and flexibility are key ingredients to a a succesful gaming group (IMHO). If you feel the current pace is too slow, perhaps you can find other ways for your character to grow. Character growth need not only be accomplished by raising levels. Perhaps you can increase the complexity of your character, develop new traits, new relationships. "Power" need not only be measured by how much damage one can do in a single round; rather it can be measured by how much impact your character has on the campaign world. "Power" can be gained through roleplaying just as easily as by raising levels. An individual could carve out his own kingdom in some savage waste, thereby affecting all the surrounding regions. Or, one could become a saint or champion of his or her faith, increasing his or her own power. So if you feel like your power levels are not increasing quickly enough, maybe try find other ways to compensate. Ask your DM for ideas or offer your own. I am sure he would be more than willing to work with you on such ideas. [/QUOTE]
