Character level

In any role-playing game, character level is a general indication of how powerful a character is. Two characters who are the same level will, in general, be able to compete against each other.

Player characters in Guild Wars have a maximum level of 20. Unlike other MMORPGs, this level cap isnâ€™t a barrier to character development. Level 20 player-characters will still earn additional skill points and be able to learn new skills, although additional health and attribute points are no longer acquired.

Pets also have a maximum level of 20. On the other hand, mobs and NPCs do not have the level cap of 20.

Character level directly affects the damage of spells and caster weapon attacks. For more information on the effect, see Damage.
