What is the point of playing well if there is no chance to lose much in the process? Where are all the less experienced folks when the champions are going toe to toe with giants mounted on dragons? It certainly isn't impossible to have a wide spread in character levels and enjoy playing in such a campaign if the DM knows what they are doing and the campaign stays fun. I've been DMing this campaign pretty much weekly for about 4 years now. None of the PCs in my campaign is useless everyone gets a chance to shine.sure a 3rd level character can't hope to always defeat a threat that requires the might of a 12th level character but while the 12th level character is battling the previously mentioned giants mounted on dragons the less experienced fellows are making an end run for the scenarios objective or dealing with troublesome goblin skirmishers.  In my camapign new players start with a new main character under the party average and folks are allowed to bring in a second character at 1st level if they wish. Not every character in the campaign is an epic hero and those that are don't always know they are until they are tested.  The camapign is a status quo campaign, the villians and environment aren't designed for characters of level X specifically but for what is in any given area.  The local baddie doesn't have some uncanny ability to always upgrade his forces to be an appopriate challenge for the PCs sometime the PCS outclass the villainsous flunkies by a wide margin and other times they get thier butts seriously stomped if they don't go in with thier eyes open.</blockquote>
