[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 4701496, member: 25619"] Not a big problem. People rarely switch characters in my campaigns (I can think of 3 instances across 16 player * campaign combos), but that's probably because of a mechanical rule I do have: nobody gets any levels "for free". You can either start the new character from first level, start at first level from an approved race with level equivalency that brings it up to average for the party (but you have to earn off all the XP for that equivalent level to advance to Level 2), bring in an approved PC from another campaign, or take over an NPC/retired character. The 3 changes were: - started a new character at 1st level (not overly onerous in AD&D, with an average party level of about 3 at the time) - took over an NPC - brought in a PC developed in another campaign (which I also DM'd) Also, I allow only the core rules (PHB+DMG), plus Netbook of Feats, in my 3.5e game (and ran just core rules in AD&D), so there's no "oh my gosh, that's a cool/overpowered new class/feat/race, I want it" factor in my campaigns.
