[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 5367074, member: 525"] Simple question really, how often do you need to level? How long can you last at one level before you get bored/irritated/whatever and you need that cookie of accomplishment of leveling? Lets say you game once a week. The sessions are 4 to 6 hours. Would leveling twice a month or so be okay? What if its was 3 times every 2 months or once a month? Is leveling up so important that as a player you need that cookie on a very regular basis to have fun? The question stems from another thread on how often a character should level. It led me to wonder how long players could stay at the same level and still have fun. If the campaign was enjoyable with action, heroics, plot, all the things you love as a player, but you leveled once a month or so would that be okay? Or would you feel that your character was getting stale and you were getting bored? There are caveats of course. Characters should get out of 1st and 2nd level fairly quickly.
