If the player wants to bring in a new character while the existing one is alive they need an exceptional reason because my default answer is "no".Existing characters cannot be easily discarded for 2 reasons:1) I the dm along with the player have built up existing background & threads, & the thought of not being able to easily use this & instead having to do the hard work again fills me with dread.2) Players choose early on to use 4d6dl or 25pt buy, if the character is dropped because the 4d6dl result is poor then they are invalidating this choice. Given that I believe 25pt buy is balanced with 4d6dl because of its reliability, this invalidation offends me to a degree which I know is not rational, but I cannot help. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
