How far have you gone in a base class?

[the Jester]

Humm, at this point, as a player, not counting pcs created at high levels, I think my highest is 9th level. As a dm, I have a single-classed fighter npc who has journeyed with the pcs since he was about 14th level or thereabouts; he is now 27th going on 28th.

Feat or skill limitations based upon needing to fufill entry requirements into a PrC (Skill Focus [underwater basketweaving]! ...Yay?.) A full-level single-classed spellcaster can take whatever feats he wants. And if a PrC is so powerful that it's a must-take, then I certainly don't want it in my game. I'm looking at you, Radiant Servant of Pelor. The cleric in question was a cleric 5/RSoP 5 when I brought it to my DM's attention that the PrC was stupid broken, so he agreed to allow me to retool the character as a simple cleric 10. The DM in me can't abide over-the-top brokenness.

Hmm, good point. And its not as if the Cleric is weak if you don't PrC.

Some classes do well on their own. Most do, probably.

If we count other editions I played a human fighter 3 switch class to magic user and got to MU 20.

The furthest I have played a base class character was a druid, who I took from 1st to 13th, bridging the transition from 3.0 to 3.5. It may just be a peculiarity of the class, as I don't see a reason in 3.0 or 3.5 to go PrC with a druid.

I voted 6-10. I've had a couple characters who would've gone all the way in the base class, but either they or the campaign didn't survive.

I voted 11-15, had a sorcerer make it to 14th level, but the game ended there.

It was also the higher level character I have played in the 3.x edition of the game. I fully intended to remain single-classed had the campaign continued.
