[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7718820, member: 42582"] I think the rules about "one level per adventure" are a bit of a red herring, because "adventure" there means something like "expedition into the dungeon". The purpose of that rule is to limit massive level gain from making a single huge lucky haul on a given expedition; it's not there to stop players getting the full benefit of the XP from cleaning out the Lost Caverns or the Steading or some similar dungeon. But if the end game (eg ancient red dragons, demon lords, etc) is around about 10th level rather than around about 20th level, then levelling at about half the rate takes you to the end game in about the same time. Based on S'mon's experience, it seems that 5e powers up a little bit more quickly at the end (in AD&D the time to get from 10th to 14th or 15th might be comparable to the time taken to get from 1st to 10th) but then in AD&D only casters notice any real development going from 10th to 14th anyway!
