[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 935151, member: 9990"] We have had a few players join a campaign I am a player in and they started out at about the average party XP. Then my PC was killed, and my next PC started out with EXACTLY HALF of my old PC's XP. Now you may think this is about equivalent to starting at one level lower, it is not. My 3rd level PC that almost died was luckily almost 4th, or else he would have been the only 2nd level character hanging out with everyone else who was 4th. Again I hear the Iron DM's say, "what's wrong with that?" and my reply is lack of equality. While I shouldn't worry about it and go with the adventure, having an arcane caster with half the XP that the rest of the party has doesn't make you very effective in an encounter, let alone multiple ones on the same day. It sucked, I am done venting, and since I felt I couldn't compete with the other PCs I took a PC that is all about role-playing now instead of skills, feats and abilities (a Bard) and am happy again.
