Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jfdlsjfd" data-source="post: 9563509" data-attributes="member: 42856">Hush, don't say that word, it might attract a Snarf!After a few days away, it's time for me to resume my favourite activity: nitpicking.It was like Paladin, the character class no one had every played where someone was witness to the character creation?The odds are 0.00001723277% That's a character in 100,000. There are, according to probably unfouded rumours, 50 millions persons who have played D&D ever. Even if they somehow all played D&D 1e and stopped there, that would be 500 bards ever. Well worth the price of the paper to print the class.While I agree that she could conceivably level up quicker than a year for 5 levels, which is totally possible -- even with 5e's rate, an adventuring day is a day, so one could reach level 5 in a month. On the other hand, wasn't there a rule that you needed to get money to get xp? Is she sitting on top of untold riches or couldn't she just get a gift from her wealthy father to jump up 5 levels? "Daddy, I wanna be a level 5 fighter" "Here is a cheque honey". Or he could gift a random rat a few tens of thousands of gp if they needed to be looted from the dead body of your enemies (I know for sure 1e had some strange loot so a rat owning money wouldn't be out of place).Put there is no way she could be a bard so young: she'd have to wait to get the thief minimum age of 19 to reach level 1 and get her other level-boosting cheque. Maybe there is a requirement of legally buying a glass of liquor from a store to get that first level? I think the minimum age rule should apply. Sure, she isn't 26 and neither OUR Carr when we start school, but the minimum age for a character is to be a 1st-level magic user. She didn't mention that she graduated magic with Landor, only that she started training, which she could have from a tender age -- maybe even before starting fightering and thief-ing. Along the same line, (1) we can't discount that Carr is 26, and suffers from amnesia about his youth (2) he isn't yet a 1st level magic-user. As far as we know, he didn't gain any xp yet.She's a minimum of 34 years-old. A grandmother in the Middle Ages.That's my head canon.Dalris, age 3: looks at picture in Landor's spellbook and resolve to be a spellcasting princess when she's all grown up.Dalris, age 4: learns that Landor passed away. She doesn't care anymore.Dalris, age 6: starts thief training after seeing an episode of Robin Hood.Dalris, age 9: starts fighter training after seeing an american football match.Dalris, age 19: speaks with her father about her career, cashes a cheque to reach the required level overnight and conclude she's heard enough of her dad's rambling to validate bard level1.19 is a reasonable age for OUR Carr to be, unless I am mistaken, so they are a perfect match.Plato started earlier!Bonus point for that door being visible from the court yard. I am not sure about druid in 1e to be honest, but couldn't her father just turn into a bird? Didn't they have animal forms? Or couldn't he cast Shapechange?WIS 3 is the reason why Beldon failed. But it's established that Dalris is WIS 15.</blockquote>
