So we have this DM in our discord community who denies people characters to be at the party's level when they join in the game mid-campaign or need to make a new character. He simply stats that anyone joining in at anytime other than the very beginning will result in a character who will have a lower level.
The perplexing part is that he claims that this is a rule in the book, but a majority of us find that hard to believe simply by virtue of how counter productive that is in practice. What I'm curious about is what rule is he talking about if it is one.
