.  Does anybody else level stack? I don't level up my dude when I can. That way I can level up in combat and get a free refill on health and mana. It helps in case I run into a dragon by myself after a clearing out a dungeon. I normally only have one level above me waiting.  I also don't know any disadvantages either, besides not having the extra perk. Technically a person can probably just stay level 0 and beat down everybody with 000 of everything and no perks.
