But I have played in a 3E game where the DM ruled that all new characters coming in had to start at first level no matter what the level of the party. In that game I played a monk who was with the rest of the party who were ninth level. It was really not fun when we got into battle. I could not effect anything. Most of the time I took cover and threw shurkins. Or I spent a lot of time praying that I stablized before I hit -10. Because if I died I would start at first level again. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> Sure it could be a role playing challenge but as a player to sit there half the night unable to do anything whle the rest of the people played was not fun. I brought a book and read a lot.I also think depending on what story you want to tell is a good gage at what level to start. If you want to tell an epic level why slog through through 20 levels to get to the meat of the story.The character I am playing right now in our Kalamar game started at 10 level. She is a replacement character. I put a lot of thought into what she has been doing to be this high a level and there is no way I could have developed this character from first level in game. She is an ex commander of a legion, 32 years old married with a 14 year old son. Its going to be fun to play this gritty woman.</blockquote>
