Level 0 adventure

[scramasax]

I search an adventure that was made for level 0 character. They were doing some encounter i a town and their reaction to those encounter was eventually choosing which class they will become.

I am pretty sure it was in a dungeon magazine. Does somebody remember where I can find it? Have you heard about other adventure like that I want to modify it for a 4th edition game

I don't remember ever seeing one in a Dungeon. Maybe check issues prior to #34.

That being said I regularly do this in my games.

PCs get to choose their
Ability Scores point-buy and
Race

And they tell the DM what
Class
Feats
Skills and
Alignment they want

Everyone starts with
-1000 XP

When you hit Zero XP you remind your DM of the things your PC did that suggest his class (spent my time with the local NPC Ranger), Feats and Skills (these are the things you said the NPC Ranger was teaching me), and Alignmet (remember the time I did such-n-such... and the time I did such-n-such -- those were actions of a CG character).

The DM decides what you put on your character sheet.

The only 0th level Dungeon adventure I'v ever heard of is Below Vulture Point. Unsure of the issue, my index isn't closeby. Probably in the 30s, as the other poster stated.

The other 0th level adventure I've seen is an old 1E adventure where your adventurers are shipwrecked, and have to escape the island before it gets blasted. Name escapes me, though.

The one on the island is Treasure Hunt by Aaron Allston.

Found it... Below Vulture Point is in issue 39.

There was also one in the Dungeon Crawl Classics line from Goodman Games. It was called Legends Are Made, Not Born, IIRC.

I've always been interested in the idea of a 0-level adventure, but have some trouble putting together how it might play out any differently than a 1st-level adventure, with, y'know, maybe NPC classes until the character establishes his/her chosen class.

Not knocking it, but I haven't heard of it working out yet, with the exception of some 1st-level split-class stuff. Any one else have any favorite experiences to share regarding successful 0-level adventures?

FYI, this should be much easier to do in Pathfinder now that the 4x skill points at first level is gone. There isn't a penalty anymore for starting in one of the NPC classes before taking levels in an adventurer class.
