[QUOTE="pming, post: 6449719, member: 45197"] Hiya. So far in my 5e campaigns, everyone has started at 1st level (the way we do it in 1e). That said, I think I may, in the future, have PC's start at level 3 IF the lowest character in the group is 4th or higher. So a group of 5th level PC's, a player would roll up a 3rd level character. I'm also seriously toying with the idea of importing in some Hackmaster (4th edition; the "first" one, not the new, current one). In HM there were rules for player characters having a Protegee. They were like "secondary character", basically. If/when your main PC dies, you can immediately start play with your Protegee. There's more too it, but at least that way you have a new PC that has some relevance to the current party and not just "some new guy we met in a bar". There's a lot of HM stuff I'm using right now, actually (horse rules, character background/family stuff, drinking rules, etc.). ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
