[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5471003, member: 13703"] My campaigns generally start at 1st level (as have almost all the campaigns that I have played in from the start). I generally prefer to start my campaigns at 1st level. I wouldn't have an issue starting at 1st level, so long as the other PC's were also close to 1st level. The tipping point for me would probably come around 4th or 5th level. At that point a 1st level character is either going to be a bystander to any fight that challenges a 4th or 5th level character, or they are going to get themselves killed. So at that point you're more a spectator than a player, and I don't consider roleplaying to be a spectator sport. New players in my campaign start with the same XP total as the lowest level PC in the party. So anyone joining the group will at least be in the ballpark when it comes to power levels.
