Is it bad form to play a 1st level-only character?

[JamesTheDonkey]

I ended up playing my hunter, not my all-in magic missile build. My friend had a lot of fun (the main goal of the weekend), but is thinking of rebuilding his character. He designed a really neat secondary attacker, buff and debuff shaman, then forgot to use half of his abilities. So now he plans to retrain into Barbarian and kill things.

Thanks for all the input, and also for the extensive lesson on swarms.
