Zero Level Rulebook for 5E

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Herein lies complete rules for running Zero-Level (Commoner) Playable Characters in 5E. 

Based largely on the rules provided by Dungeon Crawl Classics, these rules allow players to quickly roll up Zero-Level characters to be used in funnel content in 5E. 

It can also be used to quickly generate fully-fleshed out commoner NPCs for your campaign. 

Uh oh

WHAT IS ZERO-LEVEL?

Zero-Level “adventurers” are commoners. This is your character before they mastered the fighting arts, studied to learn how to wield arcane spells, or made pacts with otherworldly creatures for amazing powers.

As a Zero-Level, you know you are destined for greater things, and while you toil away at the occupation society has tossed you into, you know that someday, you will get a chance to prove yourself and rise above the rabble.

WHY PLAY ZERO-LEVEL?

Playing a Zero-Level adventurer is an exciting experience. Any wrong move could result in a permanent (and messy death.) Taking risks means something entirely new when the risk could mean the a character’s story.

Zero-Level campaigns are no less epic than a standard 5E campaign; you’ll uncover ancient artifacts, battle vicious abominations, explore unlit depths, and solve mind-bending puzzles. Our aim with this supplement is to open up this fun, alternative avenue of play to 5E players.


THE FUNNEL

In standard 5E gameplay, the emphasis on character creation is putting a lot of thought and effort into creating your character’s background from scratch.

You can use the Backgrounds systems to create a backstory and history for your character. With Zero- Level characters, you actually create your character’s history through rolling dice and gameplay.

But be warned! Adventuring as a Zero- Level is deadly work, so you will generally be playing 2-4 characters in a Zero-Level adventure hoping that at least one survives.

At the conclusion of the adventure, you hopefully will have at least a couple of adventurers with a story of how they became what they are; ready for their level one adventures.

There's some files for download that list Pre-gens and some other files that I am unable to open. What are they for? There's nothing in the description to help open these.

You should Advertise this with the bonus action of creating random NPC's using the tables provided. You should add a names table and you'd be all set. Any way cool book! ive been using the DCC modules in my 5e games for a while now and this is just perfect.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
