Character Level vs Path Level
There are two types of levels to keep track of in this game: Character Level and Path Level. If a character is on a single Path or Multipaths, then both Character and Path Level will always be the same. It is only Dual-Pathing where there might be a difference. In this case, Character Level is the sum of your two Path Levels. See the Dual-Pathing page for a full description.
