Current Level Cap

What is the current maximum level?

4/5

20.

There are relatively few options to play past level 11, however. You're limited to modules, APs, and a few scenarios.

Dark Archive 4/5

technically level 21 is achievable now.

Scarab Sages

How do you get to 20 if the modules dont go past 11?

4/5 *

Scenarios don't go past 11, but sanctioned modules and AP's (and one Special) do.

How do you figure?

There's currently only one adventure that can be applied to a 19th level character.

Don't know, but I'm betting that it is related to

Some scenario run past level 11, specifically the Eyes of the Ten 'retirement arc' that takes you through to level 12 and the All for Immortality arc with is Tier 12-15.

There's a boon from Gencon which allows you to apply 1 scenario's worth of credit to a PC, and it scales up to level 20.

You can get to 20 the old fashioned way, and then apply 3 of those, to get to 21.

4/5

Would level 21 even be a legal character level? Nothing in the normal rules allows that.

Well, you can create a L21 character however you want. Given that any audit as to its legallty will come when you try and PLAY him and that you can't PLAY a L21 character then I think the character is in a perfect Quantum Entangled state and is simultaneously legal and illegal.

Nothing disallows being higher than 20. There just isn't game content beyond then.

What is the name of the boon so I can keep a look out for it?

That, I do not know.

Sczarni 5/5 5/55/5 ***

Class-20/Other Class-1 is possible.

It's just that Class-21 is not.

But you can't apply the same Boon to a character more than once, so wouldn't the new cap be 20.1?

The Exchange 3/5

Maybe it lets you apply a module?

Forget about playing at level 21...there's no way that I'm aware of that you can actually play a level 20 character.

Maybe apply this Boon when you're level 19.2 and play RftRCK at 20?

We really need the wording of this Boon before we can conjecture much more.

4/5

I don't have the infamous #17 in front of me, but the gist is apply this chronicle to a PC, don't play that PC at all for 6 months. After the 6 months, apply the Chronicle as 1 XP, <mumble> PP and gp from an included chart (by level, I think 12 was 15k). Hold for 9 months to double, 12 to treble.

4/5

Nefreet is likely correct about the boon followed by Race.

I'm not entirely sold on level 21s being legal in society play.

None of the level based tables in the CRB go past 20, though there are the optional rules on page 406 for epic-level play. They are clearly stated as being incomplete and only included to provide something use in a pinch.

On the other side of things, the PFS experience system says that you level up every 3 xp. There are no restrictions on level in the PFS guide.

Why wouldn't a Fighter-20/Wizard-1 (just for example) not be legal?

4/5

Whether a level 21 character is legal for play or not seems... pretty irrelevant. :p

Where are you going to play it?

4/5 *

I believe one Special scenario had a 12+ tier... although it's pretty much needed to get to 20 right now, that may not always be the case.

One can hope that there are plans...

... glorious plans...
... something about ... Shax?

I have heard... rumors...

... Shax's House of Pain will be a multi-table special where everyone plays the same subtier (19-20). The scenario will not have a chronicle sheet since no one will survive.

That only works if the character is Schrodinger's Catfolk.

You can play Race for the Runecarved Key in 12+ Tier at level 20+ even if you already played it so long as you are making a legal table for no credit.

I can't promise it will be challenging though.

You can't get credit for it twice on the same character. And if you are playing a table for no credit, you obviously can't apply it to a character.

Rewards: You don’t earn any rewards beyond having a
good time. You should (in this instance only) receive a
Chronicle sheet for the adventure, though the GM will
denote that you earned no gp, Prestige Points, Fame, XP,
boons, item access, or any other benefts or disadvantages
otherwise normally awarded by a Chronicle sheet...

You are able to you just get a blank chronicle for it and risk your character dying or something even if it is pretty unlikely at level 20 and 21.

It's a Chronicle with no rewards, no gold, no Prestige, and no XP. so you can't use it to advance a character.

It's hilarious to watch two people arguing the same side against each other.

The Exchange 3/5

Yeah I suppose it is. I thought I was being told you can't play the game which is all I claimed you could do.
