[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5224614, member: 40177"] My big problem winds up being this: *NEW PHB comes out* "Hey, look! This warden looks neat and new. Don't know if I like the druid, though... I think I want to play a warden, instead of my dinky little warlock." *Warlock is killed by giant ants, and a warden joins the group* *Primal Power comes out* "Hey, look! The druid has this really neat power I want to try out! To hell with my crappy warden! I wanna play a druid!" *Player browses through Arcane Power* "Hey, look! I completely missed this feat last time? Hey, could I lose my druid and play my warlock?" *** To be fair, this has been happening to me since second edition with a certain subset of players, but I've seen it pop up quite a few times sine 4e has come out, due to the new options coming out all the time - and with them, new possibilities. I've had two players who drop their character mid game and come in with a new character (my biggest pet peeve). Another one loves his character, but is always thinking and talking about new builds. When I start running Dark Sun, I'm tempted to do a "free for all" delve once every couple of months, just to let these players try out their new builds without putting in a new PC twice a year. I also have plans to allow a "multiple PCs, but only one at a time" rule that could help curtail this. [/QUOTE]
