[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 8310207, member: 6775477"] They exist because some people like epic tiers of play. My first campaign went to level 18, and I'm considering revisiting those characters for another adventure. The current game I'm playing in we just hit level 16, and it's been a blast. I know of groups that have just started with level 15 characters, wanting to just do epic things. If anything, I have an issue with the fact that levels stop at 20, rather than being unlimited like 1E! However, don't fall for the trap that the game assumes you play from level 1-20. A campaign should be only as long as it needs to be. I've played in games that only went to level 5, because that's where the story ended. I've also played up to level 30 in an epic Dark Sun campaign (basically following the same path as the books). I've also ran a 1E game that went to level 36 before I ended it with an epic adventure leaving the PCs as demigods (or erased from existence if they failed). Just because most games end around level 12 doesn't negate the fact that some campaigns can end earlier and some much later. [/QUOTE]
