Samwise as he takes his "one more step". D'Argtanian when he chooses to get involved in the fight against the Cardinal's men.Basically, a character hits first level when he first chooses adventure.Mechanically speaking, I think my preference is for first level characters to be a cut above the average, but only just - they're the kid with a huge amount of potential, but no experience. That may be to do with my entry to the game - it's a lot closer to the position in BECMI D&D and AD&D 2nd Edition.That said, I didn't find 3.5e's 1st level characters (at least in the Core Rules) to be outrageous... but I did think 4e went quite a bit too far.</blockquote>
