[QUOTE="Reef, post: 9047778, member: 4533"] That of course works, but it goes contrary to official adventure Milestone guidelines. They quite clearly state that the party gets to level up once they achieve a certain objective, or reach a specific moment in the story. The DM can of course add in as many encounters they want, and throw out the milestone guidelines. But then you end up with characters outleveling the adventure. Obviously if the DM is running complete homebrew adventures, it's not an issue. Anyway, whether you prefer encounters, or milestones, or something in between, my point was that you can't hold every table to your precise definition of correct leveling speed. And this is way off topic for how many fighters show up in a year. I didn't mean to derail...just pointing that out by official recommendations not everyone counts encounters as the level up mechanism (and therefore longer campaigns are certainly possible).
