You've seen the Fighter and the Cleric, now it's time to check out the Wizard from the new D&D Starter Set!

d30? uncircles Daniel Swensen
ReplyDeleteIt was a d6 in the playtest as well.
ReplyDeleteThey don't call it Clerics of the Coast, you know!
BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN WITH THEIR LOW HIT POINT WIZARDY MORTALITY RISK!
ReplyDeleteThose of us who play OD&D are comfortable with this already.
ReplyDeletegood lord, is that a name list on the back of the sheet??

ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE EXAMPLES FROM THE STARTER BOX, IT CONTAINS MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU NORMALLY WOULD SEE
A recent thread on the old Conan d20 game reminded me of something I really liked about that game. Every person has a level and a class...3rd level commoner, 1st level scholar, etc. Those classes gave them the skills they needed to do their job but their "combat" utility was minimal.
ReplyDeleteCommoners rolled d4s for HP so a 3rd level commoner averaged 7-8, HPs. Soldiers (Fighters) rolled d10 but started with max at 1st level...so at first level a Soldier had more HPs than a commoner.
It occurs to me that maybe the upside of making Wizards d6 in D&D5 is that it leaves room for the regular schmoes to use d4s.
I know people tend to freak out about name lists, but really, I don't see the fuss -- I happen to think they're OK (as long as they're not like "you must choose one of these names!")
ReplyDeleteName list? I couldn't even get past reading the hit points!
ReplyDeleteLike most everything,don't get the divine oghma thing though,
ReplyDeleteThey probably stayed off your lawn, too, right, Daniel Swensen? 8)
ReplyDelete(I actually think name lists are pretty cool)
ReplyDeleteThere is no single thing that a game designer or GM can do to set the tone and inspire imagery for a campaign as simple as providing a name list.
