Sep 01, 2011 19:34:04 Phillippe Antoine-Menard sent out an excited tweet that he was officially making it into publication with the debut of Dragon #403. The title of his article: A Hero's Choice: Level 0 Rules!

I'd love to hear some speculation on what kinds of awesome things level 0 options could bring to the game.

Also, give Phillippe a follow: @chattydm -- He lives up to the name!

Sep 01, 2011 19:42:40 Toddler Strike * Level 0 Witch Power * At-Will
You disarm the Timmeh with a smile and suddenly give him squeezors.
Effect: The target is squeezed (save ends).

Sep 02, 2011 5:48:06 I am intrigued by the new Level-0 article. I always liked the idea of starting at Level-0 then getting to actually choose your skills and profession in-game with instructors etc... but never came up with anything concrete, may be this will do it....And i like that Philippe tailored an adventure to it.

Looking forward to this.

Sep 02, 2011 9:33:42 level 0 rules seem kinda cool, this would allow us to start campagins without picking classes first, and maybe see what fits your playstyle first before you make the decision of class

what about themes though? would they be in level 0? themes are supposed to represent your character's actual ocupation or lack thereof

My entourage shares the sentiments.

Congrats on getting published!

Good point!

Perhaps you will be given the ability to start by selecting a Theme, but only enjoy the background benefit until you obtain first level?

hmmm...

Sep 02, 2011 10:32:25 Is this one of those when the house cat crits I can re-roll situations?

Actually we did the first time play my Swordmage with a pre-college mini adventure so we could learn basica the character had his Intelligent blade master (which got show cased) and we made it a fight with a bully.. which ended when bloodied. (at first level the bully would be a minion but now he was a standard). So we did bull rushes and basic attacks and used bails of hay in battle field to knock eacho other over with or gain combat advantage in page 42 fashion and so on.

It was good for a learn the rules but I really dont see doing anything more than a scene. (not enough to show case interesting elements of the character)
