It's funnel time! This thread has your character-making instructions, and also is the place for discussing other things character or funnel related.
Funnel Character Thread
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

Instructions for making your funnel fodder party. Make any required rolls in this thread.
You will use the magnificent Purple Sorcerer 0-level party generator to create your 0-level wastelanders. However, the results will need adjustments:
* Characters won't have a race/species defined
* Lucky signs will be incorrect (they will be normal DCC signs, not Umerica signs)
* PCs will be missing their Umerican random gear
So, here are the complete steps for making your party:
1. Gen up a 0-level party of 4 on the Purple Sorcerer generator, with the following settings:2. Roll for each character's species using the following table (I've included extras from expansion books):
* Oooo. You rolled Beastkin! There's another roll (1d30) to find out what kind of half-animal you are. That table is too much of a pain to put into this post. If you roll up a beastkin, post a d30 roll and I'll tell you what kind of animal you got.
3. Roll for Lucky Sign using the following table.
NOTE: We'll be playing "Super Ray of Light" lucky signs, which means your lucky sign modifier is either +1 or your Luck modifier, whichever is better.
4. Roll up a piece of random gear!
5. Win a Prize!And that should do it.

NOTE: We'll be playing "Super Ray of Light" lucky signs, which means your lucky sign modifier is either +1 or your Luck modifier, whichever is better.
[ +- ] Random Gear Table
[ +- ] Free Armor
I'm giving everyone a free piece of armor. Not because I want to make things easier (thought it will), but because Umerica has weird armor rules, and I want to practice using them. If you haven't read the armor rules yet, I've posted them here.
Free Armor: Feeble armor with a d3 armor die. This is roughly the equivalent of football shoulder pads, but you can describe it however you like.

I guess we post our characters here. Purple sorcerer site generated 4 level zero characters for me. I guess I will apply the changes to all of them?

@DMbraniac: You've got a Wolf beastkin
As to the question of buying equipment - yes, you can buy stuff. You can buy anything you can afford off of the Random Equipment list above (noting that 1 sp = 10 cp).
In addition, you can buy the following weapons:
Staff: 10 cp
Sling: 20 cp
Club or Dagger: 30 cp
Hand Axe: 40 cp

I have just realized that I didn't put starting cash in the instructions (spending starting money is an Umerica thing that DCC doesn't normally do). Every character gets 5d6 5d12 cp of starting cash. See my previous post about spending that.

How much damage does staff do? Do sling need stones as ammo? How much does it cost? What does ea in the table mean?

Oh 5d12 is the standard 0 level amount that Purple Sorcerer automatically gives each PC

Staff is 1d4 damage, typically one load (quiver, stone sack, etc) of ammo is assumed alongside a starting ranged weapon in a funnel although it is kind of a blind spot in DCC.

My character sheet updated... Was this where I needed to upload them or somewhere else?
Jan 6, 2024 6:21 pm
You need to put them in a Gamersplane character sheet and then submit that in the game details page here:
https://gamersplane.com/games/4293/
You can use the code I built for an interactive GP char sheet here: https://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/31373/?p=1524154#p1524154
One benefit of using a GP char sheet is it will let you post as your character, with whatever avatar pic you want.
