Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nac Mac Feegle" data-source="post: 1518471" data-attributes="member: 15240">Well, I think in the end I'd prefer to start anew, because I don't know about the others, but I'd feel uncomfortable with the continuity if the character changed stats, age, personality, background, and was played by a new person, and besides that I'd find it odd to deal with the characters previous actions.  So if possible, I'd prefer to start anew.  He could easily be a "reserve" equivalent in the militia of the town they're going to enter soon, and so could be sent along as that towns contribution to the mission, or, given that he could be walking to the same town from his farm (which is a good twelve hour walk away) he could run into them now and, being nominally a member of the militia, be sort of de facto under Cromwell's command.  That's just my preference though, and you are the DM.  If you really are set on that, then he'll be Archer.As to the level equivalent, I personally disagree with that formula.  I don't think that a peasant would level up in the first two years of life, and I have a couple of basic arguments.  Firstly, the "commoner1" is meant to be (in my opinion) a position, rather than a measure of experience aquired by age.  All generic peasants regardless of age, would be commoner 1s in my interperetation.  Secondly, age is a bad measure, due to the problems with inter-species age ranges.  After all, even if you say elves don't leave childhood until 110, an elven peasant just entering middle age would have accrued 50*660, or 33,000 xp, putting him far above any human peasant.Or to argue why even with those rules why my character is still low level:  To clarify, his farm is fairly high up on a mountainside, above where most wild animals prey, and given the bad soil, the farm isn't very big, so he's never attracted raiders.  His being forced to fend for himself early in life is reflected in his extra feats and free cross-class ranks, specifically he has self-sufficient, track, and ranks in survival, all of which mean that he would be able to support himself and survive well.That's my take on it.  Mainly that's just justification for wanting to play a large, older scottish peasant, but hey.If that's okay, I'll post a final character sheet next.Wondering, should I start him w/ a magical item?  Just asking.So if all this is good, then I'll post up a character sheet and get ready to join the IC thread.</blockquote>
