In the original Pillars of Eternity role-playing game developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the maximum character level you can reach depends on which expansion packs and downloadable content modules are installed. In the base vanilla game without any expansions, character progression is capped at level 12. When you install The White March - Part I expansion, the level cap is increased to level 14. Installing the full complete edition or adding The White March - Part II expansion raises the ultimate hard level cap to level 16. In the sequel, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, the standalone maximum character progression reaches level 20, granting adventurers access to high-tier class abilities, power levels, and devastating endgame spells.
