However, because each level has a "suggested range" rather than a specific cap, the levels aren't discrete. Thus, I would not consider it a leveled game (apart from the questionable utility of defining a game with three huge levels - what are you comparing to what, again?). That's different from M&M, where each level has a defined cap. That levels work differently in M&M than in D&D is noteworthy, but it doesn't make M&M not level-based. Levels work differently in Rolemaster, too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Not level-based games would be:DC Heroes: Traits completely independent.Hero System: Traits mostly independent, graduated caps not defined for different levels.Runequest/BRP: Skills are percentiles, attributes are independent.GURPS: Traits are mostly independent, graduated caps not defined, traits not interchangeable for comparison.Semi-level based games:Most Fudge games give each character one or more traits at a specific cap, although other traits are likely independent.</blockquote>
