Adventurer
Here's the scenario:
The party is 11th level. A player decides he "has done all he can" with his current PC. He wants to bring in a new PC. The "retired" character joins an organization in Eberron to study on his burgeoning psionic abilities.
The standing house rule is that if you die and don't want to be resurrected, or when a new character joins the party, the new PC has the same XP as the character in the party with the lowest XP, so the new PC has this amount of XP.
A few sessions, and 2 levels, later, the party is 13th level. The player decides he doesn't like his new character and wants to bring back his old one.
So would you:
A) Bring his old character back with the same XP as the character in the party with the lowest XP?
B) Bring his old character back at one level lower than the lowest PC in the party?
C) Bring his old character back with the same amount of XP he had when he "retired?"
D) None of the above and I have another idea?
On a side note, the player in question has not asked to bring his old character back but has expressed dissatisfaction with his new character. I'm just planning for possibilities.
