"HOPELESS CHARACTERS"
Sometimes the universe of chance allows a character to appear who is below average in everything. At the Dungeon Master's discretion, such a character might be declared unsuitable for dangerous adventures and left at home. Another character would then be rolled to take his place. There is enough chance in the dungeon encounters, however, that sometimes a character like this will survive and advance to a position of power and importance.

ReplyDeleteGood point, Denis. I've thought before of adapting the DCC funnel to Holmes.

ReplyDeleteFun.
Zach H Surviving to 2nd level IS the Holmes funnel! :)
ReplyDeleteAaron Kesher True, though I like the idea of 0-level characters that can generated more quickly than standard 1st levelers.
