TR-Friendly Vet Status

Not sure what that has to do with this thread.

If you save a bunch of XP tokens you can skip the first few levels immediately. Basically the same thing.

Yep. I do this sometimes too especially if my character needs a couple of levels to feel like themselves (2nd level class feats or enhancements to play how I like) or if I've burnt out from Korthos playing with my kids. My daughter has determined her cleric is from Korthos, lives there, and must go there at least once a week to say hi to her friends. She has also taken a fancy to Misery's Peak so that we can save the dragon from the evil squid-face. By the way since Fred is friendly she has decided he's actually the brother of Hank (the octopus from Finding Dory).

If the proposed special vet status is only to level 4, I really don't see many people choosing to pay for it. I wouldn't, I would continue doing as I have been doing. Also as a casual player, with over a dozen alts I ignore anything with the word completionist attached to it so if it were unlocked from having completionist anything it might as well not exist to me.

Severlin mentioned in some of his latest remarks that with Ravenloft we may be getting a Vet Status upgrade to allow people to start at level 10 so they can go straight to the Ravenloft content.

Okay, sure, sounds good, but I have a suggestion:

Please, please, PLEASE put in a vet status that makes TRing a little easier, so that you can start at, say, level 4, or 7, (or 10!).

My suggestion would be to tie each level of TR vet status to a completionist type. There are currently two types of completionist in the game (heroic, epic) and the possibility of a third (racial) or even a fourth (iconic)--although that last one should be a special case, I think. So, my idea would be that if you have one of the first 3 AND vet status, your TR character can start at level 4. If you have 2 completionists (heroic and epic, say), you can start at 7. If you have 3 (if they implement racial) you can start at 10. And if you have iconic (if it's ever implemented), you can start your iconic character (only) at level 20.

They'd be optional, just like existing vet status where you start on the airship and decide how you want to proceed. If they come out with new races/classes you'd have to do those from a lower level since you'd have to regain at least one completionist.

Sound reasonable?

I actually like the idea, but with otto's, xp pots and other items they sell I doubt we'll see it.
