My group: "You guys make it to level five before the campaign falls apart?"

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

don't most people start out in level 5?

You guys start out as lotr heroes? I guess we've always liked the 'aaaah, I'm about to die and I have no magic items!' campaigns. I know it's not "true," but it always feels like we get better roleplay by having people not be able to just be big, bad, can't-be-hurt-by-the-guards folks. Every time I've been in a different group where people get powerful, arrogance over 'npcs' is inevitable.

I've always started lvl 1, I didn't even know ppl started at higher lvls

Almost all campaigns I ran I'd have them start level 3-5 depending on what stories I wanted to tell. Pathfinder 1 the first couple levels are trash anyways and I personally felt like I didn't have much interest with my own characters until I could see their unique abilities start to come online, so that's where I liked to start players in my own campaigns

When I played a leveled system, typically we'd start at level 1 but the first few sessions would each end in a level up.
