In the game I played last night consisting of 4 players, Me and our ninja reached level 2, so our cleric and rogue decided to head off to an arena to level up. They fought anything from cats too camels in the underground hidden desert cities arena. So here's my question since the rogue was also our DM, is it allowed for a DM/player to make a place like that just forthe purpose oof leveling up?:confused:

He's the DM, he can do whatever he wants as long as he has players.

Bigger issue is the DM having a regular PC in his game. Arenas fighting is a viable way to have challenges without leaving the city, so I wouldn't see anything wrong with it.

Well he only play's a character because we have a extremely small group, 4 people including him. Also did I mention I took over this city so I am now the king of it and the game we played with the arena last night was our very first game ever.:eek:

Well, you could make the arena illegal in the city and have the Watch crack down on it.

AHA good idea but I don't think I'll do that as long as they get too level 2 and stop as I call it fast leveling there.
Oh also i cant have the watch crackdown because everyone in this town is insane.That's why it was easy to kill theking. ALso thanks for all the help.

Yeah he could do it but IMO, it's a waste of time. Why not just say "Okay guys level up your characters?"

Yeah, it's kinda lame... I've DMpc-ed when I've had small (2-3) player groups, but if my dmpc lagged behind, oh well... he was there to fill out the group, not for my enjoyment (and provided a character if a guest came in)... If I was going to cheat and level him up.. I'd just level him up... but never saw a reason to
