[QUOTE="Mephistopheles, post: 4121750, member: 4460"] How have people who don't like the vulnerability of 1st level characters been getting by up until now? Add more hit points at first level, start at level 2 or 3, or whatever else people have come up with. I think instead of saying PCs being sturdy at 1st level I should have said PCs being sturdy at the start of a campaign. That we have a few people in this thread saying things like "I haven't started a D&D campaign at 1st level since..." reinforces the case that the options have been there for those that didn't like PCs starting out too vulnerable. I have nothing against PCs kicking butt on a level that leaves them short on time to take names straight out of the gate. I don't even mind if that's the new starting default as for all I know more people are playing previous editions that way than not. However, I do think it would be disappointing for D&D to lose the option to play a game where that is not the default. That's all I'm getting at. [/QUOTE]
