Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kalshane" data-source="post: 6396615" data-attributes="member: 9505">When we originally started playing back in the 2E days we always had new characters start at 1st level, and yeah, it generally meant that player was making another new character within a session or two. I want to say one of the blue DM's splatbooks suggested starting new characters no lower than two levels lower than the lowest-level member of the party. Once I read that and we started incorporating it into our games, things went a lot smoother and while death still sucked, it wasn't a completely crippling "Why am I even bothering" event like starting back at level 1 was.I'd probably do something similar in my 5E games (though it may tough to win the players over at getting so used to "everyone is the same level" from 3E on.)</blockquote>
