[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 6117311, member: 4550"] I'm fine with scratching the name of Tiers all together. I do think that it should be spelled out in more than a sidebar that DMs and groups have the express ability, choice, and tools, to start [i]at whichever level you want.[/i] There should be rules for exactly how to create a higher level character spelled out right at the beginning, in "character creation," so there is no confusion and is not considered an add-on in some addendum or alternate rules somewhere. And there should be short lines of included advice. "Level 1 is a great place to start to develop a background, play the kid off the farm, or the apprentice just setting out on his own." "Level 3 is a great place to start with a character who is already begun to make her mark on the world." "Level 11 is where characters gain access to impactful magic such as teleport, charming, and save-or-die comes into play." "Level 16 is for superheroes and truly epic confrontations." I think it's quite fair to say that D&D encompasses play from apprentices, to adventurers, to those that leave legacies, and your group can choose the level where they want to start. [/QUOTE]
