[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3563845, member: 4134"] So why are you annoyed about a difference in levels? Do you have to have the same levels in order to have a good game of D&D? The easiest thing, I'd say, is to keep things balanced out: Those who like balance have it, and those who don't care will probably have no problems with some level imbalance. The thing is that the rules as they're written in the books should be balanced, since I believe that will be best for most players. If you don't want balance, just ignore it! But before you do, make sure everyone feels this way. If the people aren't fine with this, you'll hurt the game: This could be because someone would like to play a normal human, not some freak, but he doesn't want to be weak and inconsequential - which he would be if other players pick really powerful classes and templates. Related to this is those who will play the most powerful race/template combo they'll find and either sorely outpace those who don't, or, if everyone does it, throw the whole challenge rating thing completely out of whack (it's not like it's an exact science, but in such a case it will probably become completely useless) Nothing against that, in general, but if they're in my party, stealing all your spot light, and I feel like my only purpose is to be there and see what awesome things they could do, I don't have any fun in the game, and I'll quit.
