Does my character have a level?

Does my character have a level? Or just "power"?

Just power level. Character levels were removed after Shadowkeep was launched.

I dunno why officially because I stopped playing for a while back then but character levels were replaced with the season pass levels, which used to show in place of character levels between Shadowkeep and Lightfall. I believe that to be the reason.

Yes, your character does have a level. Technically you're level 20.

But that'a an obsolete artifact from years ago. It no longer has any bearing on the current game.

Technically yes, but in reality, no. Levels became obsolete years ago and Bungie just adopted power as the new gatekeep benchmark. Functionally, they're similar, but power is a bit more nuanced overall, though they may eventually get rid of that system too. This season is the first time we haven't gotten a power increase.

Seasonal levels, at least by this point, are really just there to show people how much you grind the game.
