Just doing a simple reno in the upstairs bedroom and bathroom... Wasn't sure about the amount of receptacles, etc. that could be put on one 14/2 wire from the panel. The answer given was appropriate yet I was told I needed to use AFCI receptacles/ lights in the panel for the bedroom... So must I revamp my whole panel box now? Or can I leave it as is and just use the lines already run?

There is no specific limit on the number of receptacles you can have on a convenience circuit. Just stand by; AFCI breakers are seriously expensive (like ten times the cost of regular breakers). Fortunately, I built my house in an area that's still under NEC 2005 so I only needed a couple of them.
