<title>Character Generator and Price Differences</title>

<description>&lt;div class="right" style="float: right"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kensanata/8128736368/" class="url http"&gt;&lt;img class="url http" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8048/8128736368_e0d82793bd_m.jpg" alt="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8048/8128736368_e0d82793bd_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last year, I worked &lt;a class="local" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2012-10-03_Old_School_Random_Characters"&gt;on an old school random character generator&lt;/a&gt;. With my new found interest in B/X D&amp;amp;D and the Moldvay equipment list in particular, I found it necessary to differentiate between Basic D&amp;amp;D prices and Labyrinth Lord prices. The most important price difference is the price of plate armor. No first level character can afford it when using Labyrinth Lord rules: starting gold is 240 at most and plate armor costs 450.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#x2019;s how to generate those characters (note that Moldvay is the default):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets/random"&gt;a random character&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets/characters"&gt;50 compact characters&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets/stats"&gt;statistics on the characters generated&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;And here&amp;#x2019;s the same thing using Labyrinth Lord prices:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets/random?rules=labyrinth+lord"&gt;a random character&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets/characters?rules=labyrinth+lord"&gt;50 compact characters&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets/stats?rules=labyrinth+lord"&gt;statistics on the characters generated&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#x2019;t forget, the &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets/source?rules=labyrinth+lord"&gt;source code&lt;/a&gt; for the &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://campaignwiki.org/halberdsnhelmets"&gt;random character generator&lt;/a&gt; is available as well (Perl 5).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=RPG"&gt;RPG&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/RPG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Old%20School"&gt;Old School&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Old%20School"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Character%20Generator"&gt;Character Generator&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Character%20Generator"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
