[QUOTE="pming, post: 8054910, member: 45197"] Hiya! The player pulls out his/her backup PC, which will almost always be 1st level unless they've played the character before. If the player creates a new PC, he does it right then and there. The PC will be at the average party PC level, -2, maximum starting level of 3rd. (e.g., 2nd if average PC level is 4th, 3rd if it's 5th or higher, and 1st in every other case). That said, it's the OPTION TO, not a requirement....a Player is always free to create a level 1 PC, even if everyone else is 5th level, 7th, or whatever (for the record, nobody has cracked the 7th level mark in any of our 5e games). Creating a higher level PC just seems like cheating. It also doesn't seem "fair" to players who have managed to keep their PC alive up to whatever level they are. Lastly...starting at level 1 is just the coolest level! Why [I]wouldn't[/I] someone want to start a new PC at level 1? :) ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
