Maybe i didnt expressed myself properly once again ...
I didnt mean that levels have no meaning!
I wanted to say something like our backgrounds, or starting stats have meaning aswell and levels simply are not everything.
Obviously we will start at level 1, bcs that is where the game starts ...
So ... i gues what im trying to say is that maybe you are looking for reason where there is none. :-/
Did they tho?
Shadowheart had Format:#C ... that alone should be perfect excuse for loosing all her experience.
Astarion never even had any to begin with ... bcs his whole life was about "show on party, wait until some noble hit on me, take them to my master" ... i believe he could be quite experienced Vine taster, or party maker ... but hardly an adventurer.
Gale have it simmilar as Shadowheart ... i mean, his "orb" litteraly consumes magic.
How can anyone presume he would still be powerfull wizard with this?
As for Lae'zel ... well, she certainly claims to have super elite training ... the problem is that is just how she sees it, it can be exactly the same training as your Tav Fighter have ... but hers is still better in her eyes, bcs it was done by Githyanki who are supperiour.
And Wyll? Wyll is a fraud and i quite honestly dont believe single story he tells about him ... and i really, really, REALLY hope that later in game we find out that he actualy never done any of those heroic deeds, that it was all just stories Myzora was telling discuised as Bard.
Minsc was statue for hundert years, woulnt surprise me if his moves would get little ... rusty.
And Karlach was used to hell powers, that she can no longer acess ... thats just the same as Gale.
Quite honestly, when i read this all ...
Im surprised someone presume they shouldnt be level 1.
It's not a great explanation, but one, that might work.
How is that english saying: As long as the glove fits ... or somerhing like that?
