D&D 1E Leif's AD&D 1E Recruiting Thread

[Scott DeWar]

*facepalm*

Now what did I do!?

 

[Mallus]

Feel free to mock them severely for failing to see the understated beauty of 1e AD&D, and try mercilessly to convert them!

Heh... I'm not very good at system-evangelism. I'm more of a "System Matters (A Little)" person. So no can do .

Besides, I'm trying to psyche myself up for running a new Pathfinder campaign on the 23rd. I would have happily run AD&D or AD&D 2e... but the majority of the group wanted PF, so off we go.

I'm not exactly looking forward to running a rules-heavier system... but if it makes the players happy, I'll try to dust off my old 3.5e encounter-design chops.

Working on my Tiefling Alchemist (Pathfinder) even as I type . . .

Great minds think alike. My wizard concept is a Tiefling too. Bet your ancestor isn't the same type of outsider as mine though...

Prob'ly not, but I haven't gotten that far yet. I am thinking a prehensile tail will be useful for an Alchemist, though.

Okay, this thread is getting too crowded. Let's keep this thread devoted to 1E AD&D and split the Pathfinder folks off to another thread HERE!

Come on over, Red Knight! It won't really be a party without you!

Okay, whew! This thread is now officially all 1E AD&D again!

Now what did I do!?

You? "Now"? Had you done something before? You've done nothing....that I'm aware of, at least. All of the PF-speak/info is a whole lot of gibberish to me...so I wouldn't know if you've done anything or not.

Have fun with the game, though.

DeWar is actually in the Pathfinder game and my 1E AD&D Alpha game.

Spells
You roll starting spells according to the chart on p 39 of the DM Guide, starting with Read Magic as the first spell in his book. Then you roll one additional spell of the highest level your PC can cast for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th levels, rolling 1-40 on the First Level spell list in the Players Handbook (1D10 AND 1D4), and 1-24 for his two second level spells at 3rd and 4th level (1d12, 1d6). So all together you will have Read Magic plus one offensive, one defensive, and one miscellaneous first level spells at the start, plus one more 1st level spell for 2nd character level, one 2nd level spell for 3rd character level, and one final 2nd level spell for 4th character level. That gives your character a total of 5 first and 2 second level spells. This could give you a pretty random and useless selection of spells, but do it this way and see what you get. It could also give you a fantastic selection of spells. I'll make any adjustments that need to be made, so don't worry too much if you get sorry rolls. You can also try to start out with some scrolls, following the probabilities given in Appendix P of the DM Guide. Any scrolls that you have at the start can be used to copy the spell into your spellbook, but if you do that you will use up the scroll, of course.

Any specific instructions for Illusionist spells?
