I made a second set of characters, and for goofs, I leveled them up to see what options I would have (like on D&D Beyond). But since they are "over level 1" I can't start a new Adventure with them, annnnnnnnnd you can't level them back down. So what is the point of being able to level them up?
Stuff like this just blows my mind, like no one ever thought this out from the consumer's perspective.
There will be different adventures and they'll not all start at level 1
EDIT : I think we shouldn't access that feature before we reach the other adventures but it's an EA game so i guess they can lock it if a suffisent amount of peoples don't understand that point.
EDIT2 : Like said picklesgrr you can also see how'll turn your character with a different level so nevermind i'm not sure they'll lock that or maybe turn it into a different option for the character creation to emulate a char with a different level only then unlock a level upgrader in the character windows for the other campagn
You can try out a build in advance - see exactly what spells are available to the spellsword for example. It is very useful.
There probably should be a "clone" button or a reset button and (or maybe or) better documentation but the documentation is generally a bit lacking.
Hi there,
You are both correct, this is meant for future adventures, and also a great dev tool to check level up features etc. But maybe we should hide this to the consumers until new options are available.
We will look into it.
Cheers
A reset button is welcomed, I mistakenly level up one character and cannot pick it in the campaign.
I would hope you do NOT hide it because it is a really great way to plan builds. A reset to level 1 button would be nice.

Same here (also the reset to level 1 would be nice even during the game, as it's quite easy to make a dumb mistake while levelling)

At least you can use game saves to roll back. And it's not normal for tabletop D&D to reset progress on your characters (except at levels 1-4 in AL). But I support the suggestion to add a "reset" and/or "clone" button to out-of-campaign character vault.
Reseting is hard, but we will look into it.
Cloning is all you really need. The limitation of one character with the same name presumably causes an issue there - add a number? Then you would need to add a way to edit the name - BG1 had this and I always skipped it but really there should be a last check over of your characters to make sure they do not all have the same voice etc.
I was thinking a cloning system would be a simple way around this. Really the only thing that's hard to redo are the stat points if you roll, which I always do. If they could store the characters based off a hidden 'charID' or something and have that uniquely generated it would probably solve the duplicate name issue.

If you go to steam - right click the game - search local files.
Here you find two files "Level 1" and "Level 0"
Delete this and check file Integrity with steam.
Two files will be renewed.
IMPORTANT: I start completely new after the patch, so i dont know if it breaks your old saves. I was just eager clicking like stupid and leveled up before starting a new game.
I guess for now it’s useful as a build planner if you give it a throwaway name (“hullo, my name is DwarfClericCrossbow Build, pleased to meet you Ms ElfFighterDualShortswords Build. Funny how we have same last name, eh?”).
This just happened to me - kinda silly, I leveled up some characters, including a premade just to see how the classes level, and now I have to remake them all. Additionally the premade is now just unusable in the main campaign, since I cannot delete her. No reset, no clone... real silly. Actually kinda turned me off form playing, now I think I will just wait for the next patch with a Sorcerer.
Almost 2 years later, no reset no clone. just more people (me) spending hours creating 4 characters, leveling them up in lobby, then not being able to use them in campaign
plz fix

This did not level down my characters from level 2 to level 1, I dont know if this did anything at all for me... just spent the time to remake all 4 characters, very annoying
