[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7577962, member: 6796661"] As I understand it no. There are some rules to help move borderline characters to the next tier. I think using downtime. A DM did that for me once, but it was a while ago and I don't remember the rules. Besides, there have been some pretty big updates to the AL rules since then. But are your player planning on following AL rules for their characters so that they can use them in other AL games? For example, are you enforcing PHB+1. Are you not allowing them to keep found treasure? If not, then the characters are unlikely to be AL legal. But if this is just for your home game, who cares? I've run a number of AL games for my home game, but not an entire campaign. What *I* would do, is determine all the adventures you'll use in your campaign. Easiest is to just stick to adventures in a specific season and run them in order. Then, just level up the characters to meet the suggested levels for that adventure. You can just select one adventure for each level, or, if you want to run ALL the adventures for that season, have them play two or more adventures at certain levels. I wouldn't worry too much about WHICH adventures you keep them at the same level. The AL modules do a good job advising you how to tweak the difficulty based on the number and levels of characters.
