      Which drives home the point that fighters aren’t limited by the normal rules of reality.

      High level characters are on the path to becoming demigods. That’s just an underlying assumption of the mechanics.

          Yep, the story would be too epic if we get into level 20 cap. The Pathfinder CRPG games go up to level 20 and at the endgame you’re practically fighting one of the pantheons.

            In Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, you fight baphomet, kill the locus god Deskari, defeat Mephistopheles and kill the daemon lord Nahyndri. You can also reach level 40 if you go the legend path. You’re a walking deity at that point.

            I would love for Larian to make an attempt for a campaign reaching level 20. It’s perfectly doable, just don’t implement spells like wish. They skipped dispel magic after all, no reason they can’t skip other spells too.

                Where and why isn’t exactly a issue though? The writers aren’t locked to a specific story as far as I know. Wrath of the righteous is mainly centered around two cities, yet the whole world was at stake and they managed to fit in both gods and daemon lords.

                It’s all doable, but if Larian wants to do such a story is another one.

                    Well that went from 0 to a hundred real quick. I’m not sure why wanting BG3 with a level cap 20 gets your goat like that.

                    All I was saying is that it’s doable and it worked great in pathfinder WotR, and that I would love to see Larian have a crack at it. It’s not a diss on BG3 or anything like that.

          I don’t like DMing when it gets too high. Combat just drags and it becomes harder and harder to figure out what is going on. Level 5 is my favorite, people got some cool stuff but not overwhelming.

      They’re shounen anime characters. They just need to slightly move their blade and suddenly they’ve attacked a dozen times.
