So I don't mind if they switch up every so often if they aren't into the character. Changing PCs can waste a lot of work that I put into coming up with plots that use their backstory they gave me. Other players also get bummed since they thought of that PC as a friend and now they lose that group bond. So they do have to start 1 level behind to discourage it. If the change is for a good reason that benefits the group, then I will let this penalty slide. I'm not ok with a player that switches PCs on a regular basis though. For these players, it has nothing to do with not liking the PC because they won't like any PC. If it gets to the point where a player causes the whole group to have to adjust to a new character all the time, it becomes 'boring for us' and that player would be asked to leave the group or suck it up and stick with the last PC.I am pretty lenient on letting players tweak their PCs when leveling if they were unhappy with a particular feature. I think this helps keep players from being unhappy with the PC. Character dumping is not really a problem with our group.</blockquote>
