[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6302175, member: 58197"] I'm almost positive there won't be any chargen rules. Quoting from the [URL="http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/starterset"]product page[/URL] on the Wizards website, the intro box will contain the following: [LIST] [*]A 64-page adventure book with everything the Dungeon Master needs to get started [*]A 32-page rulebook for [B]playing[/B] characters level 1 – 5 [I](emphasis added)[/I] [*]5 pre-generated characters, each with a character sheet and supporting reference material [*]6 dice [/LIST] With a $20 price point to hit, it's safe to say they aren't including anything that isn't strictly required. If the product page doesn't say it's there, it probably isn't. In 32 pages, they have to fit in the usual introductory stuff ("This is what an RPG is. This is what a Dungeon Master is. Here's an example of play."), plus all the rules for playing the game. I can't see how they could possibly incorporate chargen rules too. Looking at the final public playtest, the "How to Play" document alone is 29 pages. True, they mention "supporting reference material" for the prefab characters, but there's no reason for that to include chargen rules. It will surely be the bare minimum of spells and abilities required to take each character from 1 to 5. I will almost certainly buy it anyway. :) Sure does look like it. [/QUOTE]
