In fact, you could use the levels D&D gives you, but just jump from 1 to 3, to 5, to 7, and so on, and suddenly the number of levels is halved.How many levels you want D&D to have is based on a few questions:How often do people play?How long does a campaign run?How high power do you want the typical game to get before it ends?How much higher above that should the game go, for those who want extra?I don't doubt that most long-running games get to 10th or 15th level.  But that doesn't mean the game rules should stop there.   I suspect that sufficient folks use the higher levels to justify their existence, even if they aren't the most used.</blockquote>
