2013-02-21 Character Generator and Price Differences
Last year, I worked on an old school random character generator. With my new found interest in B/X D&D and the Moldvay equipment list in particular, I found it necessary to differentiate between Basic D&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.
Here’s how to generate those characters (note that Moldvay is the default):
And here’s the same thing using Labyrinth Lord prices:
Don’t forget, the source code for the random character generator is available as well (Perl 5).
