Some games work better at higher level, and have started groups from between 1 to 5. I voted that I think that they should earn it not because I don't agree that there is a power/survivability problem in level 1 characters, but because there is something satisfying about surviving that gauntlet of terror, as it were, of getting through life with an average of 4-10 HP. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> That way you technically know EVERYTHING that has happened to this character in its entire adventuring career, and that adds flavor for me.I like flavor... it's like spice... of life... and it must flow... unlike this sentence... er... fragment..... slashy./</blockquote>
