[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6807720, member: 6775477"] I can't vote, because it depends on the campaign I'm running an who we're talking about. Epic style campaign (similar to Adventure Paths): everyone is the same level, no matter what. The epic tale is more important than the particulars, and having people fall behind due to missing sessions is unacceptable. Sandbox/Gygaxian campaign (similar to Adventurer's League): everyone starts at level 1 (or another set starting level), but has multiple characters. Each adventure the players decide which character to use, and player tend to spread their xp around to make sure they have characters for a variety of levels. New Players (haven't played D&D, especially those new to RPGs): you start at level 1, with everyone playing new characters. This keeps the new player from feeling left out, and gives them a chance to actually grow (as a player) with their character. Generally speaking, I don't allow newbs into an Epic campaign once begun; I'll either restart a new game or run a mini-campaign until they get the hang of things (usually level 5 or so). [/QUOTE]
