In this case it seems ok because IIUC he would pick up the old character at level 11, while others are at level 13. This is very feasible, it's not going to be a problem at all. But as a general rule, I would be definitely be in favor of letting him restart at a level higher than he was when he left, and justify it with the fact that he had gained those extra Xp in the meantime. This could be necessary if the party was 3 or more levels higher (and 2 is quite a limit I already wouldn't go below), or if the game was overall lower-level.Don't make your decision as a fixed house rule of the group! Keep it clear, if you give him extra xp, that you're doing this because as the DM you think he needs a help in this specific campaign situation, and you may take a different decision in other circumstances.</blockquote>
