Also, most of the awesome abilities appear at level 14, or level 10 for Expert classes (very elegant), which means there is still some room upstairs to play up to level 20. It also appears that leveling is designed to slow down gradually, so you won't shoot up to very high levels very quickly.If you do get to level 20, it appears to me the game has done an excellent job of not making level 20 characters invulnerable to being ganged up on, or capable of doing ludicrous amounts of damage. At the same time, characters have a good range of abilities at all levels, and the NPC scaling system means that encounters always have some kernel of mathematical sanity. There is plenty to do, also, besides slaying monsters, such as building up Holdings, crafting powerful items, cultivating contacts, and so forth. Certainly, a level 20 Soldier can go toe to toe with an evil sorcerer, a dragon, or an army of ghouls.</blockquote>
