A Few Thoughts on my hypothetical retro-clone Part 1 Char Gen a Missed Rule

I forgot a rule I have found quite helpful in my OSRgaming. It also works if you want to use a DCC style funnel or run L0 adventures.

Simply L0 Stacks

A L0 character has no class but they roll stats, an origin and get hit points equal to 1/2 Con modified by origin (+1 or -1 HP)

All this is retained at L1

At the GM's  L0  player characters may  roll their Gift and may have items appropriate to background added to the gear list.
