Hopeless Characters, Aren't Hopeless..
Can a character with bad stats still matter in D&D? In this episode, I talk about “Hopeless Characters” in old school D&D, using the Holmes Basic blurb and AD&D as the starting point. Bad ability scores do not always mean a bad character. Sometimes the weak fighter, the fragile magic-user, or the average nobody becomes the one everyone remembers. This is about 3d6 character creation, survival, risk, and why old school D&D did not need every character to start as a hero.
