Here's what I've done (or are planning to do)1-Start characters a 0th level. 2-Make them roll for first level hit points. 3-Cut down on XP awards. Its easy to adjust the XP table to give out 2/3s or 1/2 of the normal XP. 4-Limit treasure and magic items given out. This will make the party slightly less effective and help with #5 below.5-Try hard to make challenging encounters less than their CR. This will allow them to have good fights without a huge XP payout.6-Make less effective low level versions of some of the higher level spells; esp. for spells over 6th level where, if they stay low level, they may never be able to cast them. For example, animate object is a 6th level spell. You might want to create a Lesser version of the spell (that only animates small objects) so the players can experience the spell w/o needing to be 11th level.Aaron</blockquote>
