[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9205376, member: 58172"] The playtest is evolving a nice "Level Zero". Level Zero means, everything a character gains BEFORE gaining levels in a class. In light of the playtest: Level Zero Features • Species • Abilities • Background The Background includes both Ability Score Improvements and Background Feat. If players are interested in playing a character that is a young adult, approximately age 16 to 19, the Level Zero Features are perfect. Further considerations: The Species grants hit points. Currently, the class grants max hit points Level 1. Alternatively, the game can have, for example, Elf grants 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution hit points, and then when gaining a level 1 in a class, Druid grants an additional 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution hit points. [B]Size (Species): Hit Points[/B] Small (Gnome, Halfling, Human): 1d6 (or 4) Medium (Dwarf, Elf, Human, Tiefling): 1d8 (or 5) Powerful Build (Dragonborn, Dwarf?, Human?, Orc): 1d10 (or 6) Large (Orc?): 1d12 (or 7) Background proficiencies can grant: All Simple Weapons, One Martial Weapon, or One Cantrip. Note, classes tend to be frontloaded, with an abundance of features all available at level 1 to flesh out a comprehensive concept. It is possible to divide level 1 into two even three levels. Nevertheless, what the Species, Abilities, and Background already supply according to the playtest, plus simple ways to grant hit points (species) and a favored combat style (background), makes a solid, playable, level zero character.
