Suggestion: Level 0
As introduction to players who are new to Pen n' Paper, players can start without any class, abilities or weapons. Story-wise, it should revolve around how the characters acquire or learn their class. It might be interesting if players decide on their classes organically throughout the adventure. Characters should become Level 1 and get their abilities within 1-2 play sessions.

Suggestion: Hardcore Character Creation
The Game Master creates a challenging dungeon where players send in multiple Level 0 characters. Those who survive become the player's main character. Those who die are replaced with the next character. This way, characters earn their own roles and background stories.
