Seems like it is very easy to have level zero characters:
Chose Race and Background
HP = Con Value
done.

You could easily start at -1000xp.Yep, although you probably need some sort of XP threshold to level to 1 as well.
I don't think that's how I'd handle it.jadrax said:Yep, although you probably need some sort of XP threshold to level to 1 as well.
Could make a good module. DCC RPG does 0-level quite well (a horde enters and the cream rises to the top).
Based on what backgrounds are supposed to represent, they should start off with them. Backgrounds are supposed to be your upbringing and life before getting your first class level. It's the skills you learned growing up on a farm, in the city, as a squire, serving as an apprentice under a herbalist or wizard, whatever.I think some people might complain that starting with Constitution score hit points makes PCs too tough. One-quarter Constitution score might be better (so that the PCs have a maximum of 4hp). They might also want the PCs to earn their background, which shouldn't be too much of a problem since they can just get by on raw ability score checks until they do so.
