[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7570170, member: 58197"] It's not something I worry about. As DM, I'm more concerned about figuring out how the new character is going to integrate into the ongoing plot; frankly, if you want to play your character's long-lost brother who joined the party in search of vengeance, I'm 100% cool with that. You have a motivation for being there, you have a connection to the existing PCs, and you have an in to introduce yourself to key NPCs. If you're the same class and race, well, that makes sense. As a fellow player, it's not really my business. Anyway, some folks enjoy playing particular archetypes. There's a guy in my group who almost always plays a rogue or a monk. He likes being an agile, sneaky skirmisher, and he hates playing casters. Why should he be forced to play something he doesn't like? If he ever gets bored with those classes, I'll make suggestions for other stuff he could try, but as long as he's having fun, I think he should go right on playing rogues and monks. [/QUOTE]
