[QUOTE="karlindel, post: 5369161, member: 27103"] It depends on the level, the game, and the campaign. For games where the focus is tactical combat, I would prefer to level more quickly, as I would get bored if I did not get new abilities to try out. In 3e or 4e D&D, I find that levelling every 12-20 hours of gameplay (or roughly 6-8 combats) is about right, as that gives enough time to try out new abilities and get used to being at a given level, while not long enough for things to become routine. Of course, if the 3e or 4e game has fewer tactical combats involved, then I can wait longer before I level. If I am enjoying roleplaying the character, whether the character levels up or not isn't particularly important. The important thing is that the world changes based on my character's actions. If I stay the same level for a long time as we go through a lot of random combat encounters, I will get bored. If we don't level as we spend lots of time in court doing favors for nobles, trying to go unnoticed and getting the lay of the land as we stop a plot to assassinate the king, save his highness's life, receive medals and land, then I am not particularly concerned with how long it takes to level.
