[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 1782799, member: 2785"] Word. One of the worst house rules I ever played with involves a bit of set-up first: curious to meet a new group of players, I joined the game at ye olde local RPG store. The established PCs were 8th-10th level, but since I was new they made me start at 1st! Imagine being a 1st-level guy tagging along with a group of 8th-level guys and trying not to get killed while they fought level-appropriate foes. I'm proud of myself, though; I put on a game face, rolled a bard, gave them inspire courage for a single evening, and never went back. It was one of those groups that you hope to never get stuck with. The wizard rolled d8s for fireballs because d6s were "too weak," and the 9th-level paladin dual-wielded - get this - a vorpal sword and a holy avenger. Meanwhile, the 1st level gnome in the back is singing inspire courage and taking 100% cover behind a rock. Whee. [/QUOTE]
