Insert 'permanent death' (or 'quasi-permanent death') into the equation and we have a winner.

"Sure, there is a technical cap, but it''s well beyond what would be practical to obtain over the course of 3 years (i.e. without playing 16 hours a day for 3 years). "

Believe it or not, I dont think level 20 was supposed to be attainable back when Gary Gygax devised D&D... the thing is, the guys who design the system arent the guys that design the adventure that uses it...

I would like to say one thing before I go as well. I hate caps(level caps, and stats for that matter). Its crazy, I spend a considerable ammount of time playing, quickly becoming the most experienced person in a stat-based game, only to hit a brick wall, as there will be a limit, most likely with several people sitting at the top... being unhappy. Many games don''t even explain such low caps, and they obviously aren''t technical caps. Personally, my game will only have a technical cap, not... well not one I make myself.
