Dungeons & Dragons wants players to start campaigns at 3rd level, not 1st.
Dungeons & Dragons wants most players to start their new campaign with 3rd level adventurers. Wizards of the Coast is rolling out previews of upcoming rules changes to the 2024 Core Rulebooks for Dungeons & Dragons. While not a full edition changeover, the rules update feature numerous quality-of-life improvements and changes, including to character progression.
Speaking in a video posted last week, D&D lead rules designer Jeremy Crawford talked about how the new Player's Handbook makes it easier to start campaigns at higher levels."Throughout the chapter it goes even further than making a character at first level; it also provides rules for making a character at higher levels," Crawford said.
On a functional level, starting at 3rd level has always made sense for 5th Edition rules. Not only did all classes receive their subclass by 3rd level, players also generally had enough resources to have options in combat and could survive an unlucky critical hit from a low level opponent. One question is how Wizards of the Coast will approach future campaigns if they're looking to start most campaigns at 3rd level.
