[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 1778354, member: 22882"] Too slow, with a caveat. I prefer to level every session, or after every major encounter at the very least (a session of haggling over the price of a magic weapon, for instance, really shouldn't level anyone but the Merchant 4/Artificer 4 :D ) Actually, I don't mind multiple levelings in a single session. However, because of the base 20 level assumption of the d20 system (most of it, anyway), this usually results in wide power gaps between PCs, "Epic" play within a few months gaming, and a derailed campaign. I've tried, with varying success, to houserule the d20 system to the base 99 levels I prefer. And by varying, I mean between hideously failed and hey-that-was-almost--sort-of-fun. The quest for base 99 d20 continues! Then we move into Star Ocean territory and bump that sucker up to 256! Until then, the pace of levelling is about right. :cool: [/QUOTE]
