[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1142509, member: 13098"] I can see how leveling too fast could be an annoyance. Especially if you are working on your characterization. I like to have my characters reflect on how they adjust to new abilities and powers, or how they acquire the same. When you are rapidly increasing your abilities, it is difficult to reflect on this. As well, it can also be nice to struggle with weaker creatures at lower levels. One thing that sometimes bothers me about the game I play in is that we might go for 6 months, or more, without any experience. Then we get a big lump together. Our DM allows us to go up more than 1 level at a time because he doesn't give out exp on a regular basis. But, that is kind of beside the point for me. That gap for exp means that magic item creation and certain spells might not be possible. I have already held myself back 1 level intentionally so I could build magic items. As well, my points for characterization become a problem when I skip 1-2 levels at a time. But, it is a good game and I enjoy playing in it. So, I am not grumbling too loudly. Just offering some insight on why people might not like leveling rapidly. :) [/QUOTE]
