[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8527490, member: 7030563"] Healing gets introduced to the party through Goldmoon right away, it just does not exist anywhere else in the world. From memory she has a staff that can heal at the start of the game, she loses this in DL1 but she is a functioning cleric with spells at the end of DL1. Healing was pretty integral to 1E when this module came out too, so I don't think it is too over the top. My reason for using pregen characters is the backstory and I would absolutely redo them on point buy and with 5e classes. The problem with asking players new to the setting to do their own backstory is they don't know anything about the setting. As far as the story parts go, I loved the Dragonlance series when I played them nearly 40 years ago and I loved them when I dmed them for a group of new 1E players in 2012. The one in the Elf forest with the Green dragon and the dreams is awful, but I though the rest were pretty good. DL 2 can be kind of a railroad, but is also really neat and fun I think. Some of the fights are over the top tough though and I think these would translate better to 5E where the other pillars are more important. [/QUOTE]
