[QUOTE="Blue, post: 3106918, member: 20564"] As a DM, I'd be shocked and upset. 10th level is well over a year of playing around here, and to suddenly have all of the plots and subplots that I've been weaving into the story around the character go *poof* would be sad. I try to work in plots that star each character, though it takes a while to get them all going. As a DM, a new character coming in means: * Lots of good angst RP. * Shaking up the group dynamic & effectiveness - not a bad thing. * Losing a good amount of plot and design work I've sunk in over the years. What about plots that the old PC was a key figure in, but will still apply to the group? Need to rework them. * Work to intergrate new character-specific plots. * Having to work hard with the player to create the new character as a reality as deep as the original character who's grown for more then a year. Just in "who you know", working out NPCs that they may know/be owed favors/may owe favors/etc so that new characters aren't swinging in the breeze with no "supporting cast" that the other PCs have built up. It's a big job. Cheers, =Blue [/QUOTE]
