FAQ 2.3: What happens if I get tired of my character and want a new one? Do I start over at level 1?

What happens if I get tired of my character and want a new one? Do I start over at level 1?
This also depends on the circumstances. We are understanding of the desire sometimes for a change of pace, and we know that sometimes a character just doesn't work out the way you want it to. Capricious abandoning of characters can hurt the flow of the game, though, and we wish to discourage that to some degree. (For one thing, every time you ditch a character, your new one has to establish relationships all over again, while the relationships of your old PC have to confront the sudden loss.) As such, the rules for replacing an abandoned character are the same as those for replacing a dead one, except that the abandoned character must have been in-play for six months (or have reached Level 4, which takes most people about six months), and you receive only half of the abandoned character's XP for the purpose of making a new one. You receive 3/4 of the appropriate gold for a character of that level (see Table 5-1, DMG p.135).
