I'm a noob, struggling with my first playthrough. I see a lot of people talk about restricting their builds to a certain soul level, often SL120.

Is there any disadvantage to spending all these souls I have on levels? I understand it will affect summoning tables for PvE co-op, and maybe for PvP, but are there any other drawbacks? (I'm mostly staying Hollow to avoid invasions anyway, for now.)  Why the SL120 limit?

Thanks,

Jeremy
