[QUOTE="Imban, post: 4693666, member: 29206"] If it's something like hating your character's build but not making too big of a change, enough that people could reasonably not notice (and I run gestalt 3.5e games, so people are legitimately pulling out crazy new abilities all the time), I'm generally okay with it as long as you talk with me about why you want to rebuild your character first. If you actually do not want to play that character any more at all, well, I'd still like to be accomodating, but I'd really like to talk with you about it, especially if you were relevant to the current plot and I'm going to have to redo my ideas for the next session or something because of it. New characters, whether new players or not, come in at equal to the level of the party but with no XP towards the next level, but that's not really a major penalty. If you're [b]That Guy[/b] who seriously wants to play 8 different characters within 15 sessions, around the third time I'll certainly let you stop playing your character, but probably not let you make another. That's not fun for the rest of us to have to put up with, but most people are not [b]That Guy[/b]. [/QUOTE]
