If 3.X was played with unlimited levels, why were humans not just an afterthought along with any other short lived race.  In reality, with unlimited levels and age ranges 5X to 10X that of humans, elves and Dwarves should absolutely dominate the game.   There shouldn't even be a consideration of any other race.The majority of enemies should be at least 100 level elf or dwarf (orcs, goblins, other short lived races would have been wiped out an infinite age ago).Why isn't the world logically dominated by them except because DM fiat which makes absolutely no logical sense?(5e gets away with this simply because 20th level is the highest level anyone can ever get regardless of any sense to that, but as 20th level is the highest, everyone is stuck at that point at the highest point.   Still, you have epic boons and longer lived races should have more high level characters than shorter lived ones).</blockquote>
