OOC thread

3rd lvl now there is an ideal. You could be established adventurers or even a troupe.

Love it. Local small town heros make good. Let you dig into some more complex adventure material as well.

I’m down with it. Let me know if you need any supplement suggestions

dibs on the Fighter. Straight up - Fighter. :)

Thinking maybe I'll be an elven wizard if we are using the BFRPG version of BECMI. Gives me a bit more utility what with infravision and secret door detection...
Str 9
Dex 13
Con 9
Int 15
Wis 11
Cha 11

MIND Change - how about me... a Thief instead! :D

Every party needs a good thief ;)

Curse of Strahd is one of the best rated modules of all time, often number 1. I also like Out of the Abyss as it starts play in the Underdark which is full of cool environments and monsters, a major deviation from the usual above ground play.

Man, this BFRPG system really helps the thief class out by allowing demihumans to pick their classes (unlike regular becmi). A dwarven thief would not only have infravision but also a double chance to find traps in dungeon corridors due to the dwarfs innate ability to do so.

As a human thief in regular becmi I always have the problem that since I cant see in the dark I am either sneaking around blind or carrying a torch/candle/lantern... all of which give away my position!

Yasss. Lol. I’m really digging BFRPG

Ok then since Strahd wants heroes to help "save him" a little reknown wouldn't hurt.

Let's say for this so I can start some prep is:
Adventure - Curse of Strahd
Starting Level: 3rd

Now to see if there is a player's guide.

Oh boy, dark days ahead! The demiplane of terror never disappoints...

Not yet for me either, I have found no player's guide but dozens of supplements and adventure ideals.

So I guess you need to decide if your character is a native of Barovia or from some other D&D plane.

I was thinking of maybe being an outcast Vistani... but it might be better for group cohesion if we all got sucked into the plane together as outsiders.

Doesn't matter to me what level we start with as long as I can do the levels right. BTW.. I call Ranger

It's a modified version of Basic D&D (BECMI) called Basic Fantasy RPG and unfortunately there aren't rangers :( only fighters, clerics, thieves, and wizards.

You could make a fighter, put your best stat in Dex, and focus on archery... just a thought

OR, maybe even more on point, you could make an elf fighter/thief so you get that mix of martial ability and stealth that the ranger champions...

There are loads of supplemental classes/races available! It just depends on if the GM wants to allow any of them.

Rangers & Paladins

Basic Class Focuses

The basic class focuses is really cool without dumping loads of other classes into the mix but adds enough balanced variety.

Oh what? Game changer! I only have the core manual, with the basic 4 classes. I've got some reading to do ;)

yasss, loads of pdfs on there. great content.
