[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4912106, member: 19675"] A Character Tree is when you have a primary character- the PC you have in active play- and other "related" PCs that are not. As the active PC advances in levels, you do likewise with the inactive ones. If the active PC dies, the player activates one of the other PCs from the Tree. Because this new PC is related to the original PC, he already has some knowledge of campaign events and key personnel. More importantly, he's ready to go at the drop of a hat. The amount of relation is up to the player, but PCs on the Tree must be within an alignment shift or 2 of the original active PC. He may be that PC's twin brother or he may just be another adventurer the party knows...and not very well at that. BRP? I don't know that abbreviation. [/QUOTE]
