Yeah, that requires you to build a new character. The game goes on while you do so and the dm loops new you in when it makes sense.

...nah, i have plenty of characters from other campaigns available when the opportunity arises...

Mmm as an occasional dm i generally wouldn't allow cross-campaign characters. I've also never run multiple campaigns within the same timeframe and setting so it'd rarely be feasible as is. Then you also get into level, gear, etc. Sorry dawg, new character means new character.

...fair enough; i don't invest my time in campaigns where players don't retain agency over their own characters...

...west marches vs. one-shot campaigns, plenty of tables for both styles...
