Can you maybe do a post on making the big baddie NPCs? I’m having trouble creating my main villains because they are a bit made up. I’m not sure how to set their levels or what spells they should have, maybe a character creation sheet for NPCs such as this?
Thomas, what’s to stop you – or anyone – from creating a druid, ranger, or lumberjack class? That’s how the original D&D classes originated: we made them up! (Don’t ask about my wife’s half-orc flowersmeller class from 1976!)
Honestly I would probably go with the Beguiler (Wizard/Griefer) class if given the chance… though it is admittingly a concept somewhat limited by the lack of illusion spells, at least I feel such It would work, the class being charmers and deceivers, a very social class to say the least..
I would still like ask for something of a Druid class after the Cleric and Wizard, with the first thing tossed being Wild Shape. Perhaps a simplified Animal COmpanion could be considered? I just feel the classes are not complete without the concept of a Druid,and through such, when mixed with a fighter , the Ranger.
Thanks for such assurance, also again the quick reply! ^^
Also, sorry for the typos I made before… I didn’t notice them until after I posted.
One more questions I have is whether or not there is any chance this might be expanded to account for players and DMs who want to go beyond level 5, perhaps up to 10? I noticed oddly that Experience and Leveling only go up to level 5, and I offer consideration that one could perhaps still keep the game ‘simple’ while allowing for a bit more ‘oomph’ when it comes to leveling and classes.
More, from the perspective of D&D class balance it isn’t until after level 10 that classes begin growing uneven with casters out pacing martials and abilities/spells begin really getting complex.
So… I guess the druid was too complex a class to keep in any form?
Simple D&D feels lacking without Druids, and I am disappointed it isn’t there. More, by not having the Druid it means you can’t also have the Ranger by perhaps multiclassing Fighter/Druid
Oh, really? Great to hear, and thank you for the quick rely!
Yet I must ask… with elves be allowed to be druids? That was something that always annoyed be in AD&D is how the race couldn’t have druids. Though it may because I view elves a bit differently I always thought it was fitting to have Elves to be the most nature friendly race.
Character creation looks fun and, most important of all, QUICK in these rules. I remember the good old days where all of us used to whip up characters in a flash so we could have some in reserves waiting to take over when our current character bit the dust.
That’s what I’m talking about! I hate getting hung up on character creation for an hour or more and some modern systems do just that. The more I read of your little system, the more I want to give if a test run.

Ruby, I recommend that you look into what the NPC is to determine what their spells and such should be. How do you want to play the NPC?
Is alignment not a part of character creation?
No. We removed alignment as we didn’t feel it added anything to heroes.
Nothing stopping you from adding alignment back in.
Personally, I wouldn’t play D&D without such.
Absolutely right.
Thanks, I look forward to seeing the Druid.
Druid added under development: /2015/06/29/druid/

Exactly. If you want to create a new class, do it. Email me or post a comment and I’ll include it.

I completely agree. The druid would need a special spell list and a few special abilities.

As of right now you would just keep doubling the experience each level and leveling up as normal.

Actually the plan is to add a druid and ranger classes

I think it makes tons of sense for woodland races like faun and elves to be rangers and druids

Creating a full level 1 character should take you no more than 20 minutes.

Do it!
