[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5635758, member: 19675"] OP, I don't do that to people...anymore. These days, I bring in new PCs at the same level and geared up like everyone else. I think that most parties would bring in a new guy who is approximately as experienced as whomever they lost. If Seal Team 6 lost a man, they'd be looking for replacements from the military's elite experienced warriors, not the guys out of boot camp. And shorting someone on gear just makes a weak spot weaker. I used to do it, though. I could see the logic of a hanger-on or cannot being brought in because he "shows potential." And if you do group XP, the new guy will level rapidly. It could even be fun playing Bucky to someone's Capt. America. As long as you remember...Bucky got killed. So I don't do that anymore. If YOU want to bmring in your PC as a lesser guy for whatever reason, I'm cool with that. But it will be your decision, not my ruling. [/QUOTE]
