People deserve some amount of credit for sticking to a character. They also deserve credit for 'paying their dues' with their character, so new people should not be able to come in ahead of veterans. I'd probably manage to be a bit annoyed that some guy joins the game and surpasses the people who have been there for years. Especially at higher levels, it is easier to make a character that you really want all at once rather than building him up level by level. For example, if you were builing a 12th level wizard, would you take toughness as a feat? A first level one is quite likely to do so, but nobody things of wasting a feat on that if they're 12th. Say I was making a high level fighter/monk type. Building from scratch would be difficult. Starting at 10th, I would take those four levels of fighter and get weapon finess unarmed, weapon focus unarmed, and weapon spec unarmed, but never take improved unarmed combat, since I know I'd be a monk later. Playing from 1st would make that extremely unlikely. I also have had experiences where gamers have ditched characters simply because they were not quite twinked enough. Though, back to the subject at hand. A) 13 years- BFD if she plays in a way that doesn't work at the table it counts for squat. B) She sounds like she has a beef with your DMing style, so let her find a new one. C) Looks like the solution has already presented itself and she is leaving, it ain't broke so don't fix it. buzzard</blockquote>
