Characters 2 Tiers out of Tier.

The Exchange 1/5

I remember seeing somewhere that Characters can not play in a session if they are more than one subtier away from either Tier by APL, or I think it was actually any other player in the session. (So if APL for a 1-7 game hit the 3-4 Range the level of the players could be either 1-5 or 3-7, but 1-2 and 6-7 characters could not play in the same game.)

Can anyone point me to where this rule is located, or if I've just misread/misunderstood something that any characters in the appropriate level for the session can always play with each other?

Some scenarios or special events offer more than two subtiers. In these cases, no PC can play at a subtier more than 1 step away from her character level.

Should only apply when there's a 1-7 (Levels 5, 6, and 7 can't play in subtier 1-2, and levels 1 and 2 can't play in subtier 6-7) or if it's an interactive special that has lots of subtiers.

Should not apply at all to 1-5, 3-7, 5-9, or 7-11 (and technically 12-15) scenarios as there aren't enough subtiers for it.

Does not apply to things that do not have subtiers, like Free RPG Day or modules.

As a note: I would highly recommend against level 1's and level 7's playing together in the 3-4 subtier. in a 1-7 scenario. It works technically but isn't very much fun.
