Yes, disambig sounds good.

Overrated and Underleveled looks to me like a Sub-Trope of Informed Ability, i.e. the character is supposed to be a Bad Ass, but his stats are more like a Noob's or, at best, a Munchkin.

To me, Restart At Level One is when you've actually played as this character for a lot longer than the Tutorial Level but at some point in the game (in a platformer, it's after a few levels/acts, in an RPG it's around the time of the Disc-One Final Dungeon) suffers a depowering event and you still play as that same character afterwards.

If the depowering event happens at the end of the Tutorial Level, what you have is A Taste of Power.

If you drop to Level 1 due to a Class Change that you choose to do, then it's not this trope. Also not this Trope is when you go to Level 1, but it's later discovered that it's Lv 1 in a Prestige Class (e.g. Cecil in Final Fantasy 4). This latter instance might be Too Rare To Trope.

And, as previously stated, Bag of Spilling is a depowering between installments.

As an analogy, the Tropes on the Left in the list below are to Video Games as those on the Right are to a Romance Arc:

• A Taste of Power : Wrong Guy First
• Overrated and Underleveled : No Sparks
• Restart At Level One : Second-Act Breakup
• Bag of Spilling : Offscreen Breakup
• The FF4 Case : Love Epiphany

Hopefully, this makes at least my interpretation a bit easier to see.

Could use feedback/hats on the YKTT Ws: Here and here.

Bump.

Clock is set.

Hmmm, okay, this is worse than I thought.

I'll adopt the YKTTW. I'm not sure both will work, but we'll see. In the meantime, this is where I need help: Examples of Restart At Level One can be merged into Overrated and Underleveled. No reason to wait. If the examples fit better in the YKTTW, then move it there.

Hellloooooooooooooooooooo.

I've adopted the YKTTW, but both are slow. Anyone willing to lend a hand?

Ok, Class Change Level Reset launched. Restart At Level One is now a disambig.

What needs to be done:

Change Restart At Level One wicks to:

• Bag of Spilling
• Class Change Level Reset
• Overrated and Underleveled
• Level Drain

The differences between these tropes can be found on the disambig.

Took a stab at it.

Good. There's one more YKTTW to launch, but it's not gathering many examples so it may not be a thing. I'll monitor it to see if anything comes out, but we're done here.
