I am curious about how other DMs handle allowing players to change out characters?
In the game I am playing in the DM decided to switch mid game from 3E DnD to Hero system. While I support the switch I did not like how the conversion changed my character. I want to make another character and retire this one. The DM said no. Right now we are at an impasse because I won't play this character so I guess if he does not change his mind I am not playing.
When I DM I work with my players to try and fix their characters before changing if that is possible if not I let them switch. Yes it can be a pain especially if you are a heavy role playing group but I would rather have a happy player than an unhappy one who I know will suicide his character first chance he gets.
Now I would be unhappy with a revolving door of characters and might at that point say no.
