Objectively, level 1 characters have the least amount of competence. Whether importance = competence has not been talked about much.the difference between lvl 1 and lvl 2 is significant. So significant that DM feel like they have to hold their punches at lvl 1 to avoid accidental TPK.for some, zipping through lvl 1-3 is fun and satisfactory. For others, these levels take their significance if they are played thoroughly or properly. For others still, you might as well skip them if they are rushed through anyway, or if the players and DM need to hold backfor some, level 1 and 2 are seen as some sort of training wheels for new players, others point out that play experience of level 1 (and to a lesser extent 2) is not representative of “typical” D&D play.</blockquote>
