The title sums it up... we have an ongoing multiplayer game, we started the adventure with three custom characters (a barbarian, a monk and a warlock) and played a couple of sessions.

Tonight, the player playing the monk wasn't available but a new friend joined the game. He wanted to create a wizard and join the party, but as soon as he entered the game was automatically assigned to control the monk, with no option to choose or create anything else.

We tried everything, like sending the monk to the camp to free a party slot and even putting him in whiters wardrobe, but no matter what, anytime the new player joined, he automatically got the monk assigned.

Do you know if joining with a new PC is possible at all?!

Thanks!
