[QUOTE="Master of the Game, post: 515765, member: 9220"] Just another quick note, the primary purpose of this is to help the characters define themselves without starting them too far above the mortan kin. The more levels your character has, the more he gains the abilities neccesary to fit him into your image, and the easier it is to dife his role in the group. By starting the characters a couple of levels higher they don't neccesarily have to gain fighter levels just to have some hope of gaining the feats they want. A non-human, non-fighter, who wants to be a decent archer (say, a ranger), wants Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, and Presise Shot. These feats pretty much define your role in the group, but Our Ranger friend would have to be 6th level to get them. In my game, where characters level about once a month, this would take half a year to get the character started down the path he really wants to play. I dislike, however, starting characters at a higher level where they reach their goals more quickly, because it starts them so much tougher than 99% of the world.
