[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5635447, member: 463"] Well, as a player I get to choose my PC background, right? So I might make him a relative of my heroically deceased PC. Perhaps in your situation I'd make him a fan of the heroically deceased PC, and bug the other PCs by asking questions about his heroic exploits, constantly asking "What would Borg (dead PC's name) do in this situation?" and suchlike. :devil: As DM, depending on the campaign, for 4e I typically bring in new PCs 1 level below the [B]highest level[/B] current PC. Otherwise I have all PCs on the same level & XP total, and start new PCs at that level. In some 4e campaigns I award double XP to the lower level PCs so they quickly catch up. Back in 1e I started new PCs at half the XP of the dead PC; this usually meant starting 1 level lower. Losing 1 level also works in 3e, as long as you keep all PCs within 2 levels, a 3-level range such as 10th-12th. [/QUOTE]
