[QUOTE="Nullzone, post: 5451418, member: 97538"] This is how it's been done before, sure; because all players leveled up at specific intervals in the season. (i.e. for season 3, you leveled up at the end of chapters 2 and 4.) The next four seasons (and this is straight from the horse's mouth) will not work this way. Your xp accrues personally and independently of the seasonal progression. If you make every session, yeah you're probably going to make level 3. But if you show up late in the season and haven't played, you're going to be at level 1, 0 xp. Or let's say you attend the first month's worth, take a break for a month, and then come back; you'll be at level 1, ~500 xp, regardless of how far the rest of the players have progressed. Pregens will not level up, because they want the incoming players to play with the pregen, and then say "Okay, this is awesome, I'm going to make my own character". And clearly there's nothing stopping someone from simply copying the pregen and leveling that up...it's not like the pregen character's design is copyrighted. Obviously this doesn't stop the community from continuing to level the pregens up if they want to, but it's my feeling that they're kind of defeating some of what WotC is trying to do by anchoring the pregens at level 1. I will happily work with any player who wants to make a sheet and doesn't have their own copy of the books, though I will certainly try to sell a book to them; HotFL/FK are only $20 apiece and have a LOT of content for that price, especially if you don't already have a burgeoning library of 4e products.
