[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7686187, member: 15700"] Starting out at level 1 is not a house rule. Also, a lot of people actually like it like that. And these were all high level PCs? Did they not have enough funds to get them raised by that point? Did they not have any number of magical items by that point to do the job? I'm starting to suspect something. I've been playing for 35 years. I've only had a few PCs make it into the teens. To see you have so many, and so quickly, and to go by your username, I'm guessing you just burned right to epic levels Monty Haul style and thus didn't spend the time most people do to acquire these in game relationships and item acquisitions that would make your problem moot. Extra confusing that someone who powergames would have their biggest issue with high level PCs just showing up anyway to replace a lost one. That's kind of what your entire table is doing by zipping all your characters to high level right off the bat anyway. All this aside, and I still say that your biggest beef wouldn't be a beef at all if you (general you) bothered to role play your PCs backgrounds and introductions and incorporate them into the group. That's not a game failure. That's a you failure. But I"m not surprised since most powergamers don't really care that much about role-playing, but focus on roll playing instead. Not an insult, but a core aspect of what powergaming is by nature. [/QUOTE]
