[QUOTE="Imret, post: 2703800, member: 991"] While I answered "Are you crazy", I feel like I should comment on the 2E XP halt at higher levels. With significant alterations to the resurrection rules, we took a party of four built at 2,000,000XP each through all of Dragon Mountain. By the end of it, our group of four with nine classes between us gained six levels, divided amongst those nine classes. And let me assure you, we cleared out -everything- in that dungeon. Knee deep in poisoned shortbow arrows, we were. :heh: I'd have to concur with Brother MacLaren and say you're not supposed to level after a certain point in 2e.
