Everyone has commented on how a DM should handle this and they are good suggestions. I've always felt DM's should "railroad" players but if these senarios are some your players suggested I think it's rare you'd find players willing to do that.Now I'm a player who has actually done this. My second edition characters where in the now know as Epic level range. When third came out I sat down with the DM and we worked out how we would go about the change. It was clear that we all loved the second edition characters and wanted to change them over, but they would have only been 20th level and lost a fair bit. So we decided of a restart of sorts. We used the same characters basically from first level. But instead of the characters following the same paths we had a few changes like wizards becoming fighters/arcane archers, clerics learning psionics etc. It's been commented it's almost like another dimension for this group. We often make jokes along similar lines. Like "hmm didn't this happen before?" I would think however you wanted to approach it if you were a player and you wanted this to happen there should really be no problem. In your senario's it is not like the PC's have access to the epic level items they once had nor the NPC contacts they made throughout their lives. So there doesn't seem to me to be anything wrong with it and it would actually sound like a fun character to play. One who knows he's this great hero but has to start again. Especially if he's with new PC's who know the hero in legend, but for some reason he can't tell them who he really is. Although like anyone would believe that, lol.</blockquote>
