## sorry that was never a rule 😮

**YES** , DMs can call for specific levels (e.g. this adventure is for level 5-8)

**NO** , you can only create a character at level 1, 3, 5, 11, or 17 … (you can use DM rewards though)

the only way this would have worked is for closed home campaigns, or as a DM homebrew award   
 → basically making such a character unplayable at other tables

> I wasn’t aware this was allowed, while still keeping a game V.A.L.U.E. legal If that is so, then my suggestion would be to clearly state it somewhere 😃

yeah you were not aware of it, because this rule never existed^^ 👇
