Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kalshane" data-source="post: 6565683" data-attributes="member: 9505">When I first started running 2e, I did the "everyone starts at 1st" thing. My younger brother went through about a dozen characters because of that philosophy. Eventually I started bringing in new characters a level or two below party level, which cut down on the revolving door of death that occurred as soon as a character died. I really don't see the appeal of going back to it.I also find the "but they won't stay first level for long" defense kind of silly. If the character is going to jump up half a dozen levels over 2-3 sessions (provided they survive) what purpose does starting them at 1st actually serve?The "start at the beginning of the current tier" compromise, I can kind of understand.</blockquote>
