Well last weekend the writing bug struck and I want to share the results with you.
My Commoners are waiting to be slaughtered, you know you want to.


I may be evil, but I am not a murderer! I will never, ever sink that low! Never!
Nah, just kiddin'. Let's go kick some common butt!

Give your players that evil gleam in their eyes, a sense of purpose, a feeling of power.

Give them commoners!

Nice.


*Claps* Very nice, sir. Very nice indeed.

Thank you, *Bows* Thank you.

I am thinking that if my creations ever make it to your gaming table(s), I am doing alright in a free, self-published PDF kind of way.


Excellent work. To bad my PCs are not 1st level.

Liberty's Edge

Nice work.

I have to say that I've become something of a proponent of using Kobold 4th level warriors or Goblin 3rd level warriors. (Both are CR 1 creatures.) For that matter, a Kobold warrior 4/barbarian 1 is rather more of a problem for the PCs than a Kobold barbarian 2, even though both are the same CR.

Yes, I am an RBDM.

I must admit, I was expecting something... different. Maybe a little more BoVD (kids chained to your waist, anyone?). But this was really good. I especially liked your appendix on different weapons and gear, it reminds me of the rules back in the 2nd ed Monstrous Manual about how creatures don't all use the same weapons. For example:

2nd edition Monstrous Manual wrote:


Combat: Orcs are constantly in battle. They use the following weapons.
Sword and flail: 5%
Sword and spear: 10%
Axe and spear: 10%
Axe and polearm: 10%
Axe and crossbow: 10%
Axe and bow: 10%
Sword and battleaxe: 5%
Spear: 10%
Axe: 10%
Polearm: 20%

Although the idea of people using an axe and a bow intrigues me... it sounds like something Fighter from 8-bit theater would use...

Hey, that's quite cool Darkjoy - thanks for that!

I thought he liked swords...


Sword chucks yo!


Just stumbled on this thread. Nice idea, especially useful for low-level groups. I saved a copy of the file for reference. You might even use it to establish new PCs, who are going against bandits and start their adventuring career this way.
The commoner class could be used as base for the adventuring classes, and the PCs slowly acquire their new abilities (there were rules for starting adventurers in AD&D2, in several publications), but this would be another topic.

Lilith, any chance that my creation can find a place at dmtools.org?

Lilith, did you receive my mail? I am just worrying that it ended up in the junk mail folder ;>


I got it. It's on my admittedly long To Do list.
