[QUOTE="TwoHeadsBarking, post: 5297240, member: 82251"] Haha, I [I]almost[/I] have as many DM credits as you. Once Haruka levels a bit we can be paragon buddies. And not including the "third character only" restriction discourages making a second character. Say I only have one character who's at level 6. If this system passes, should I create a second character immediately? Why? He'd only be at level 5. If I wait, I could make the new character level 6. Or I could wait longer, and make him level 7. The same argument applies for both the second character and the third. Anyway, here's my reservation: someone with one high level character could just immediately create two more not-quite-as-high level characters. And I'm not really sure if this is abuse. I mean, say ren takes Murphy up to paragon, retires his other two characters, and then creates two more paragon characters. Great. Good for him. But nobody else is at paragon yet. He'll need to wait for three to four more people to show up before he can do anything with his characters. So the only person who really suffers from that is ren. Oh, and I guess my second issue is that this would require us to scrap the most recent addition to the retirement rules, and we would need a new way of telling if someone is worthy of a third character. The third character only restriction would remove the latter. [/QUOTE]
