[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 5073437, member: 20854"] Level limits never bothered me, but I'm not fond of demihuman PCs, in any case. I like a *very* humanocentric world, where non-humans races are more like monsters (and are rare and don't mix with human society). I think my next campaign will probably sidestep the entire issue by using all human PCs. If pressured, I allow demihuman PCs in my current campaign, although they're not the typical Elf and Dwarf of post-Tolkien fantasy: my "elfs" are changelings (left by the Fey to be raised by humans), and may be more similar to the Scandinavian concept of "trollborn" than they are similar to Legolas. My "dwarfs" are human babies born the with "mark of the fey" and left in certain places to be "taken by the dwarfs" and raised by the Fey. Halflings are mythical, as far as anyone knows. Under the kind of level scale that I prefer, the limits aren't that big of a deal. In my game, name level is "high level," so the scale goes from 0 to 10 or so, with PCs of higher levels than that being possible, but rare. Dwarfs top out at 8th level Fighting Man. Elves top out a 4th level FM ("hero"), but 8th level MU. So they're topping out just under "peak level" for humans, anyway. (And hobbits aren't really worth mentioning.) [/QUOTE]
