Bound codices just serve it better. I'm sure a lot of people dealt with dirt farmer PCs, though anecdotal evidence shows a lot of campaigns starting at 3rd level. It's just that starting at effectively 3rd level is a more fun option for more players- hence, serving the game's market in a better way.Yes, it's going to come out of the fun for those who like playing dirt farmers, or who feel that dirt farmer PCs are vital to their game world. I can't say I've got a lot of sympathy for those people. I suspect that almost all of them are experienced enough to house-rule their own limits in, whereas some new player picking up the game for the first time is much less likely to take up the hobby if his first combat round results in a greataxe death.</blockquote>
