Re: Starting points for rookies in established campaign
This happened with my gaming group not all that long ago. If I remember correctly, the GM had them make the character at the caqmpaign standard which I want to say was 300 points. After that was done, he gave them half the average XP of the existing characters and let them spend it however they wanted, tho he did make some suggestions. Once they started playing, they got the same amount of XP as everyone else, unless they did something particularly outstanding or made some highly entertaing comments about the other players that made said GM laugh and spew Mt Dew across the table...
