[QUOTE="Orius, post: 3944924, member: 8863"] Like others have said, look at the the 3e Epic rules. While saying, "Ok, if the DMs want to take the campaign to level 100, they'll have the freedom to do so," wasn't bad within the idea of 3e giving DMs and players a lot of freedom to shape the game, it gained a reputation for being very broken on very high levels. Personally, if I'd run a 3e Epic game, I probably would have stopped somewhere around levels 25 or 30, so players could get a taste of Epic power before it just totally fell apart. The level 30 cap might be based on a precedent in the 2e High Level Campaigns book. That book strongly suggested a cap of level 30, reasoning that at that point, even the weakest PCs are "5 times more powerful than the ordinary person" and are powerful enough to rival the abilities possessed by the gods' avatars. In any case, I'm comfortable with an upper level limit of 30. [/QUOTE]
