Day 5: First character to go from first level to highest level possible in a given editon? Or, what's the highest level character you ever ran?)
Here's the thing: I've spent most of my time behind the DM screen. I don't get to *play* all that often. The highest level character I've started at 1st level was the aforementioned Gelentan - got him up to the low teens, IIRC, but that was a homebrewed system loosely based on D&D.
More interesting is the high level character I played once at a con - a dwarven Monk/Drunken Master (5/10) with an ever-full icy burst mithral tankard +5. Played him with a bad scots accent and always at least a bit tipsy.Had a great amount of fun interacting with the Minotaur warrior (who spoke no common) with lines like :"Wai' Wai' - I know hae ta talk ta 'im! Moo!")
