[QUOTE="Painfully, post: 505010, member: 601"] Somewhere between the five games I play in (all D&D right now), I would say yes and no. Yes, it's boring because if you are familiar with character classes and start with just the basic class and race skills. It cannot yet live up to the vision you have for your character as the great wizard/ paladin/ hunter/ swashbuckler, or whatever. In fact, you still have a long way to go. No, it's not boring because there are enough class/race combinations (even without including prestige classes) that you should be willing to try something new every time and still not have exhausted all your possibilities. If you are bored, try something totally different than what you are used to. As a DM, it's important to provide a challenge to low level characters while still providing reasonable survivability. A good DM will always be able to provide a good mix of combat, mystery/puzzle elements, and strong personal motivations for the PCs in every adventure. It can be boring if the DM doesn't put together something appropriate and challenging for low level characters, but especially so at first level. [/QUOTE]
