[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1486851, member: 2122"] My previous solo campaign got my friend's PC up to 57 (started at 13). Indeed. To be able to make games above 30, a DM must be very comfortable with the Hit Dice advancement rules for monsters. A good 80 % of the critters I threw at the party were either advanced beasts, monsters with character levels, or beasts with the Paragon template. Slap 20 fighter levels on a fire giant and enjoy the show. Never. You're talking about an infinity of planes, thus nothing is ever "all done". Critter CR's are less an indicator of lethality at that level of play than lower levels. Let's say you have a level 40 party. A given CR 46 critter might be a cakewalk for them, but a given CR 28 beast might wipe the floor with them. Thus, XP can come in bursts. If anything, I found that PC's above level 20 level-up FASTER than at lower levels. Never. There's always a bigger fish. [/QUOTE]
