[QUOTE="TarionzCousin, post: 3553053, member: 31304"] Fun is paramount of course, but perhaps there is an easy way to make D&D more "authentically medieval." Character creation would have an element similar to the original Traveller game, wherein players would see how their character was as he/she was growing up. [U]Roll on the following table to determine your character's significant events during childhood:[/U] 01-11: Measles 12-27: Broken Bone 28-30: Extreme poverty 31-40: Father hit you in drunken rage 41-45: Mother beat you regularly 46-50: Older sibling tortured you mercilessly 51-65: Chronically underfed 66-72: Family cursed by spiteful necromancer 73-85: Orcs/goblins/other ravaged your village 86-90: Neighbor's Demonic summoning goes horribly wrong 91-95: Hangnail 96-97: Apprenticed to tradesman 98-99: Permanent rash from unclean clothes 00: Found a lesser magic item On a result of 01-95, you have died in childhood. Roll another character. Note that like Traveller, you only roll on this table [I]after [/I]you have finished filling out your entire character sheet. :p [/QUOTE]
