[QUOTE="CubicsRube, post: 7533313, member: 6848185"] There have been some basic 5e fan variants around ut unfortunately I can't think of one at the moment. At their age I think trying to simplify the math will have the most bang for your buck. The dmg has a variant that they choose one ability for their class and one for the background. They get their proficiency bonus whenever they roll either of those abilities, and skills are removed. I personally think background is a great tool for prompting imaginstion and i would leave it in. I'd also suggest removing ability scores and just going with the modifiers. E.g, str 12 is Str 1, str 16 is str 3 etc. Then you just add the scire and the bonus. Other than that spells can be the most complex but hard to unwind. Perhaps you just need to deal with them on a case by case basis. Otherwise they may perhaps surprise you. Let us know how you go. It's great you're bringing new people into the fold! [/QUOTE]
