There's a number of reasons, and it might not just be that you're reachinbg 12th level. Has the DM specifically said that PC power was the issue, or is he just done telling his 'tale' or story arc? I know sometimes I end my campaigns at 10th or 12th level because the PCs have all done their basic, attainable goals and after such a 'height' in the story, to continue on is like never knowing when to leave a party (standing and with dignity instead of wearing out your welcome).And yes, my players are sometimes dissapointed because many want to stubbornly continue to play their PCs long after even they realize it's getting old.But none of this is about handling the power level. I had an awesome Kalamar game go to 18th level with the story arc I set at 1st level. But anyway, the "soloution":Ask your DM to do reunions with the group who ended at 12th level. This is what I do. The Unlikely Company group I 'disbanded' in 1998 still meets 4 to 5 times a year to play specific 1-shots that I've had time to work to their challenge level. Makes every reuniuon really special and gives a chance to reembrace old friends.-DM Jeff</blockquote>
