[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 5991996, member: 17106"] Well, let's see. A vague statement that doesn't mean much, but okay. Sounds good at least. Okay. Probably overstated; a lot of people don't play long-term campaigns all the time, but yes, that is a general assumption. :confused: And...a total non-sequitur. Why can't one play a cursed/blessed character for a long time? I think what you're doing is assuming a level of so-called "balance" that D&D doesn't, shouldn't, and can't have. For example, the game does not prohibit playing characters of different levels, which can happen either because the DM dictates it or for a variety of in-game reasons. Does having the ability to give one player a level 15 character and one player a level 5 character "cross purposes with other aspects of the system"? No. It's a playstyle.
