[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 4920094, member: 834"] I suggest we modify the requirement to be allowed a 2nd PC. Currently, you need to have a level 2 PC. I would like to change it to having a PC who has completed an adventure. I am assuming that the intent behind requiring a 2nd level PC is mostly so that the player demonstrates some commitment to L4W. It's annoying enough to see one PC drop out, to see two PC drop pout over two different adventures would be a real pain. But the level 2 requirement creates weirds inequities. Many players will get their PC from level 1 to level 2 in a single adventure. On the other hand, many others will get just a little short. For example, one could get 837 XP in his first adventure. If that adventure had run for just one more encounter, the PC would be level 2. Instead, that PC needs to go through another adventure and the result is that the player will be allowed his second PC several months later than someone who had a first adventure that granted 1010 XP. This is especially glaring if the first adventure is just shy of level 1 while the second adventure is very long. As you can guess, this would allow me to get a 2nd PC but I thought this proposal sounded better than 'Let's allow Mal Malenkirk a 2nd PC because he is such a nice guy'. ;) [/QUOTE]
