Most lethal character level

Zappo that body count is hilarious

It is true that we (rotating gm's then) played the early levels on easy mode, mainly because we didn't know 3rd ed rules (+ we were just all softies). That would skew my experience.

The levels 9-12 seem to be deceptive to us all. Stronger than they have been but not truely high level.

I think it is an underestimation of appropriate cr creatures/npcs.

Also the variety of set encounters I prepare tend to be lower than the party ecl as advised. I wonder if the lower encounters are encouraging a level of recklessness in their relative ease?

Oh, we just started another campaign at 1st level in a rather harsh setting.

Body count = 1 ranger

death level

either 1st/2nd or right around 15+...

at the low levels Mr Orc and his great axe will annihilate all... however around the higher levels you get a lot of the save or die spells. saves increase too little for DC increases through spellfocus/power/etc unless you powergame it to hell (ie. multiclass insanely or do the one level of paladin thing).
