A few days ago I revisited my Character Generation Shortcuts and added backgrounds and starting equipment for demihumans. A reader wrote me an email to say that he liked it and used it when he played with his kids. Awesome!
revisited my Character Generation Shortcuts
This mail also pushed me to add another four demihuman backgrounds to bring the number up to eight and *add a starting spell* to all wizard and elf backgrounds. I updated the PDF file, too. Unfortunately I had to reduce the font size to 12.
In an effort to fight mediocrity (read the intro to Greg’s review of Lamentations of the Flame Princess), please let me know if I can improve spelling, grammar, layout, or the entries themselves if they didn’t work for you.
There still is no thief class.
In my games, magic users and elves have as many spells in their spell book as they can cast per day. Thus, they start the game with a single spell in their spell book.

Sometimes I wonder whether I should be adding (descending) AC to the armor and damage dice to the weapons handed out. And stats for the animal companions and familiars.

Descending AC? Seriously?

It works for the kids! 😄

Thanks for this. I might see if my players are interested in changing to it from the standard rules.
