[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5315642, member: 21076"] I've started my six year old IronPup on the game and I've just streamlined things for him. I helped him with his character by asking what do you want your character to be good at and then helped tweak his ability scores without really getting into the mechanics of it. Once we had the character ready to go I had him on a couple of small adventures. I sort of take his queues as to what he wants to know the specifics of and what he either doesn't want to know or doesn't really need to know yet. We haven't used AoO's yet, don't really cover flanking too much. He does have the basics down, knowing what AC is, what hit points are, what saving throws are and his to hit and damage bonuses. For skill checks, he knows how to look them up from his character sheet, but I usually tell him which one is most appropriate and then let him look it up. He has a good time playing and actually does pretty well for his age. If he keeps it up he'll be a pretty smart player as he gets older. Certainly still would like to see a Basic set for him, but I haven't let it stop me from introducing the game to him. [/QUOTE]
