[QUOTE="Meeki, post: 3078114, member: 17257"] The optimum level I like to start at is 7th. This gives players alot of flexibility when choosing races and classes. Also this gives players time to see how a prestige class will fit into their scheme. Background is important for players and I believe that level 7 gives a character a richer background that could involve other adventurers and adventures and allow for a network of npc's to be created for that character instead of having the whole party be connected to one network. A level 1 character's background includes being a farmer/commoner/whatever and starting his life out as an adventurer. When he reaches level 7 hisbackground will be almost the same as the other group members unless teh DM wants to spend alot of time working with characters on the side. On top of this spell casting becomes fun with lvl 4 spells (and level 3 I suppose) and level 7 is when characters begin to differentiate alot (especially say someone is playing an abjurer and is the only arcane caster in the party now he has the ability to still take some utility spells but has the slots of put some fun abjurations in.
