[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 1903590, member: 20740"] Two campaigns I have set up like this. The first was a homebrew where every race and class was represented either in a single family or close relationships with a family. Three characters were siblings, there was a half-elf bastard who was their cousin, who had an elf half-brother (not a bastard), and there was a dwarf servent of the family, and a gnome and halfling who were friends of his. I don't recall where the half-orc fit in, but it did. The players got to choose which character they wanted to play and could even swap out characters between adventures. This was back when I had a very unstable group of players, so this worked out as all the characters being related and noble, they had good reason to come and go. The second was a Dragonlance campaign. I made a character for pretty much every class, including major prestige classes. This campaign was an experiment on using characters of wildly differing levels in the same party. Basically, each prestige class character had the absolute minimum number of levels required to become that prestige class. The players got to chose a 1st level character of what class they wanted, or take one of the prestige classes whose path was already set and be higher level. The campaign ended too quickly for me to really make any kind of judgement on that, though. [/QUOTE]
