    Default [Old School Dungeon Crawl] Help me build a starting character

    Okay, I need your help. I'd like you to build one of the standard characters for a dungeon crawl. Needs to be a beginning adventurer and you are limited to the following rules:

    Choose a class or roll 1d6.

    1 = Dwarf
    2 = Cleric
    3 = Thief
    4 = Fighter
    5 = Magic-User
    6 = Elf

    Take four essential tools to aid in your trade. These do not have to be literal tools.

    Examples:

    Dwarf [Axe] [Delving Eyes] [Hammer] [Stone Lore]
    Cleric [Cudgel] [Holy Symbol] [Soft Hands] [Words of Wisdom]
    Thief [Clever Bastard] [Dagger] [Lockpick] [Sticky Fingers]
    Fighter [Bold Heart] [Mail] [Sword] [Tough as Nails]
    Magic-User [Cantrips] [Spell Book] [Staff] [Familiar]
    Elf [Bow] [Glamour] [Undying] [Wild]

    Pick four moves that are your trademarks. These are the iconic [cliched] actions of your trade.

    Dwarf [Forge] [Hack] [Mine] [Tinker]
    Cleric [Bless] [Heal] [Pray] [Ward]
    Thief [Backstab] [Hide] [Sneak] [Steal]
    Fighter [Charge] [Command] [Slash] [Heft]
    Magic-User [Decipher] [Magic Missile] [Sleep] [Scry]
    Elf [Charm] [Sing] [Spot] [Volley]

    Come up with one special ability and one drawback for your character. Explain what the ability or drawback does.

    Example:

    Dwarf [Unweary In Battle] [Avaricious And Scheming]
    Cleric [Divine Favor] [Sunday’s Are Hard For Me]
    Thief [Cant Tell Me] [No Honor Among]
    Fighter [Always Ready] [Fool’s Rush In]
    Elf [Reverie] [Chill Of Iron]

    Unweary In Battle: You never tire during a fight and will not suffer any applicable penalties from weariness.

    Avaricious And Scheming: Your race is stricken with a consuming lust for gold and precious gems. This desire can be overwhelming and you must roll against these urges when treasure is found.
