Thanks for the advice. I'm only playing 2 characters at a time max. I decided to make the second character because I wanted to play something different (INT/DEX vs. STR/Faith). I actually like playing different builds in RPGs so both characters I was planning on playing at some point. I always play a fighter/mage/thief and/or necromancer/assassin with my first character in any new RPG. And my 2nd char is most likely going to be a paladin or fighter/druid.

I think it is generally good advice though about playing further into the game before making a new character (unless you don't like your first character). I know in past games when I've spent too much time making new characters I end up losing interest in the game.

I also learned some important information by playing further into the game with my first character. I had originally created my 2nd character about a week or two ago, but then after playing my first character a bit longer I realized I wanted the master key so I'm glad I didn't play too much further with my 2nd character (I recently started a new game with the 2nd character). I also realized that I might want to do co-op so now I know to keep my 2nd char underleveled to a certain degree. The other thing I realized is that I wouldn't get many faith spells early in the game so there wasn't much point in choosing a cleric as a starting class unless I wanted 2 sets of heals or I wanted to go for lightning spear right away.
