But the peril is highest in those first few levels as a strong breeze will kill a level 1 character.
I also think it is hard to get a feel for a character if they lack eveything that defines them class-wise imo
I'd never recommend playing dnd 5e at level 1, even for beginners. Level 3 is where classes get their basic identity and you don't instantly die to everything
I'm in this picture and don't like this
