NO edition's 1st level characters are all that complex in the grand scheme of things.  Provided of course that the DM teaching the game isn't making it more difficult by adding in all the weird crap and books his or her particular campaign is using.THAT'S when things go off the rails... when the DM starts saying things like "Okay, so you have a sword, a shield, and this Toughness feat for an extra 3 hit points.  But let me tell you that *if* you want to play this Prestige Class over here when you reach Level 8, you're going to want to make sure you have these three feats here, and align things this way so that you can take X, Y, and Z.  Here's these four books here that have a bunch of options you may want to look at that probably would be a better choice than that Toughness feat.  What's that?  What's a "feat"?  Okay, well here, let me describe to you all these things you won't really deal with for several months until you reach this specific level, but since I love the game and want you to love it too, it'll only take me 20 minutes to describe what's going to happen, and then at that point we can start playing."If we really want players new to RPGs to get into the game... any edition will work fine.  Just so long as the DM gets out of their own way and let the person just play the game.</blockquote>
