is level 10 too high for a beginner? /u/coltowa DnD: Roll for Initiative!

my friends have played a long term campaign for about 2 years. i never got the chance to join in though i wanted to. i’ve played maybe twice in my life, but it’s been a long long time. they’re running a one shot and asked if i wanted to join in and said it would be level 10.

i was making my character and it was incredibly overwhelming all of the choices and information and all that. i’ve maybe played level 3 at the highest? they know i’m a novice at the game compared to them. if it was that overwhelming to make my character (with an unfamiliar class too, they wanted me to play a bard which i am so so unfamiliar with) then how difficult is it gonna be for me to play it?

am i crazy for thinking this is a crazy high level for them to be throwing me head-first into?
