[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 64534, member: 871"] Thanks for the replies! I thought the Cooshie was mentioned in Dragon Magazine, but wasn't too sure. I'll have to dig through some back issues. Thanks for all the responses about Basic D&D---working on ideas for a group of NPC adventurers in my campaign which strongly resembles an basic D&D group of adventurers. I wanted to get some of the information right (sold by copy of the Rules Cyclopedia long ago), because I still recalled a lot of the stuff I liked from Voyage of the Princess Ark (being able to begin play as a 1st level druid, the bard class, options for half-elves, etc.), & I didn't want to get all of that information mixed up. Here's a brief follow-up question: for those quite familiar with basic D&D, would this roughly mimic soem basic D&D characters? *Human cleric *Elf wizard with the Toughness feat (to approximate the d6 Hit Die) *Dwarf fighter *Halfling rogue (more or less for the d6 Hit Die & to have Hide as a class skill) *Human monk I wasn't sure if I should have the halfling be some sort of fighter class (maybe ranger, so as to get Hide as a class skill). Or, since the halfling class was a sort of Small fighter with a few special abilities, if I should have a human thief (to make things a bit more "authentic," so to say). Once again, thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
