Author’s Note: As you will read next week, I have since tried to use these rules to create some Level 0 characters of my own and realized that I may have started too conservative in my estimation as far as cutting and diminishing things. These rules will be being revisited in the coming weeks after some more work, but I still present my first draft so that you can catch a glimpse at my creative process. I also keep them up here because they may fit your style of game, and if you can get some use using these as a guide, then they have done their job. -Ben<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week caught me waxing nostalgic over a game that I played many years ago<\/a> in the days of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. <\/em>In this game, we started off at level 0. We knew what classes we wished to go into, and we roleplayed our entry into those various classes throughout several adventures. It was honestly the second most fun time I’ve had playing a character. (The first is a different story altogether, one that may get told at another point). Not having all of those class abilities really made me appreciate how much different and more powerful level 1 characters were over basic people. Looking at how 5th Edition presents itself in character creation, I found myself drawn to the concept of replicating this style of play by simply diminishing access to proficiencies and abilities a character receives from his class.<\/p>\n

When creating a character for this type of play,\u00a0you create your character as normal, rolling or assigning your stats, choosing your race, and deciding what class you wish to play and choose your desired background. But instead of taking the listed proficiencies and 1st level abilities listed in the Player’s Handbook, you instead take the proficiencies and 1st level abilities presented below. You gain the full hit points granted to your class at 1st level, and your proficiency bonus remains +2; you’re still a cut above a normal man or woman of your race, but you’re not a full-blown fighter or cleric just yet. You\u00a0do however, gain all the listed background proficiencies as listed in the Player’s Handbook. Once a character reaches 1st level, they gain access to the rest of their proficiencies as normal.<\/p>\n

Now, this has not be playtested by any means, but considering the goal of this type of game is not to test the characters as you would a standard\u00a01st level party, balance can take a small back seat for the first session or two.\u00a0Most classes have diminished access to\u00a0some of their defining abilities, and some\u00a0even have\u00a0access to abilities that don’t come into play until\u00a01st level – for example, a Cleric chooses\u00a0their Domain as normal, but they don’t see any of those\u00a0benefits until they\u00a0reach 1st level.<\/p>\n
