[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8827775, member: 7023840"] As part of my continuing series, [I]No one reads the DMG[/I], and in conjunction with another of my continuing series, [I]Ima read the DMG 'cuz you dun wanna!, [/I]I present the following extended essay: How long does it take to reach 20th Level in 5e? [I]clears throat[/I] [B][U]It takes 1.6316 Complete Official Marvel MCUs.[/U][/B] [I]As of the Release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever[/I] [SPOILER=Source and Math] Source is DMG p. 261 Every session is assumed to be four hours. It takes four sessions to reach fourth level. Every level thereafter is "two to three sessions." Assuming 2.5 sessions for every subsequent level in 5e, then: 4x(4+(2.5*16))=176 It takes 40 sessions to advance from 4th level to 20th level. That's a total of 44 sessions from first level to 20th level. At four hours a session, it's 176 hours. Which is 10,560 minutes. Meanwhile, the total runtime of MCU movies and series to date from Phase 1 to Phase 4 is 6472 minutes. [URL='https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/11/marvel-movies-tv-series-runtime/']Source[/URL]. Note- The Netflix series is an additional 8631 minutes. Agents of Shield is an additional 6043 minutes. Agent Carter is an additional 794 minutes. [/SPOILER] So, do you want to be watch superheroes, or be a superhero? The choice ... is yours. [/QUOTE]
