D&D General Highest level PC you've achieved.

[DragonLancer]

I'm looking for the highest level PC you've had, and roughly how long it took you to get there.

20th and that sort of campaign took about 18 months, of weekly sessions of 4 hours.

I have found that by level 8-10, I really want to play a different archetype, so I usually switch PCs. Most of our group is like that. One of things we liked about AD&D modules. You weren't stuck in a level 1-15 (or 20) campaign like most 5e adventures are. You had flexibility to easily end campaigns when the group wanted to.

2E: I don't remember. At least 10.
3.5E: 13.
4E: 6.
5E: 15.

the highest level characters i've ever had was level 13 in 5e, but the campaign started at level 3 and i joined at level 4, so i guess that doesn't count.

the next highest level character i have is level 9 also in 5e, and normally that wouldn't count since that game also started at level 3, but we level up once every...what, dozen sessions? at most? so maybe that counts.

the only character ive had that started at level 1 was in 4e, and he got to level 6 before one of the players lost their pc and we swapped campaigns.
...no, wait, sorry. he got to 4 and then i retired him for a swordmage to better fit the party dynamic, and the SWORDMAGE got to 6. and that was milestone...so...uh...

i have a pathfinder 2e character at level...8, i think...who got there from level 1 with xp. but that's not dnd. so. hm.

Current Pathfinder 1E campaign I am playing in is still ongoing after 5+ years and we are Level 18. I expect we will make it to 20 before the campaign ends.

Level 12 in 3e.

This thread needs a poll!

Pardon the terrible pun, but that would be a messy poll as you'd have to list each level by each edition.

15th level in 4e ain't the same as 15th level in 1e.
