FAQ 2.4: What happens when I hit Level 20? Do you guys do Epic, or do I have to drop the PC?

What happens when I hit Level 20? Do you guys do Epic, or do I have to drop the PC?

As the site gets older and we finally start to see PCs approaching the highest levels of the core game, this question has started to come up. For newbies, there isn't a whole lot of concern: it will, on average, be 5-6 years before you're worried about this.

For those who do view this as relevant, we have elected not to support the Epic rules, but we have put together some options for your PCs that hit Level 20:

  • You may opt to keep your Level 20 character. You can and are encouraged to continue roleplaying that character, and you can even take it out on adventures. You will simply not be allowed to advance past 209,999 XP (1 point short of 21st level).
  • You may opt to retire your Level 20 character from adventuring. It becomes an NPC, though you may continue to play it for roleplay purposes only. You gain a fourth character slot, which you may use to create a new character up to 5th level.
  • You may opt to retire your Level 20 character entirely. You may create a new character at up to 15th level, or a level-adjusted character of ECL 10 or less (limited to the normally-allowed LA+0/1 character races; see FAQ 5.1).
