I can't believe I have already made forty fully equipped 4th level characters for the original Dungeons & Dragons. But then again, having well organised resources, searchable digital files, and automated spreadsheets helps a lot. And so does a light ruleset. After all, there aren't that many character options in the little brown booklets.

Although I have initially set out to create five human Heroes, five human Theurgists, ten human Vicars, five dwarven Heroes, five elven Heroes, five elven Theurgists, and five hobbit Heroes, now I see that was way too low of an ambition!

Hence I wow to make another batch of characters—except they will all be female. That will make for a total of 80 player characters; plenty for anyone's taste.

And we come to hobbits—or halflings how they are called after TSR was forced to rename them—the last non-human race option available to players in the original Dungeons & Dragons little brown booklets. Let's see what they are capable of.

Men & Magic, p. 8:

Halflings: Should any player wish to be one, he will be limited to the Fighting-Men class as a halfling. Halflings cannot progress beyond the 4th level (Hero), but they will have magic-resistance equal to dwarves (add four levels for saving throws), and they will have deadly accuracy with missiles as detailed in CHAINMAIL.

OK, let's open Chainmail. What, there are no halflings there! Just joking, they are there as hobbits.

Chainmail, p. 29:

HOBBITS: These little chaps have small place in the wargame, but you may want them for recreation of certain battles. Remember that they are able to blend into the background and so make excellent scouts. They can fire a stone as far as an archer shoots, and because of their well known accuracy, for every two Hobbits firing count three on the Missile Fire table.

Chainmail, p. 39:

Hobbits are listed as Law.

Chainmail, p. 43:

SPECIAL ABILITY A – The ability to become invisible (Hobbits only in brush or woods)

Back to Men & Magic. On p. 9:

Halflings are listed as Law.

Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, pp. 8–9:

Secret passages will be located on the roll of a 1 or a 2 (on a six-sided die) by men, dwarves or halflings. ... When characters come to a door they may “listen” to detect any sound within. Note “Undead” never make any sound. A roll of 1 for humans, and 1 or 2 for Elves, Dwarves, or halflings will detect sound within if there is any to be heard. ...

Unlike dwarves and elves, halflings do not get a write up in Monsters & Treasure.

Summing up, halflings have the following abilities and limitations:

• Class: Fighting-Man up to Hero (4th level).
• Alignment: Law.
• Languages: Halfling, Alignment, Common (20%).
• Detect sound on 1–2 on d6.
• Ability to become invisible in brush or woods.
• High magic resistance, add four levels when rolling saving throws.
• Can fire stone as far as an archer shoots and with with deadly accuracy. (Greyhawk clarification: +3 to-hit with sling.)

And tomorrow comes the pinnacle of character creation: five hobbit Heroes!

Elves in the original Dungeons & Dragons little brown booklets are a bit special. They get a lot of advantages without any noticable trade offs. One of them is ability to freely switch between Fighting-Man and Magic-User between the adventures, but not within the same “game.”

Because of that I have decided to create the elf characters as follows:

• each character will be presented as both Fighting-Man (those are the ones below) and as Magic-User (coming tomorrow);
• they will get a maximum of two rolls on the magic items table (two for each class);
• they have to buy equipment from the same funds;
• they will roll health points for each class.

With above in mind, let's roll five elven Heroes.

Let's make some elves! But first I will summarise their abilities as described in the original Dungeons & Dragons little brown booklets.

Men & Magic, p. 8:

Elves can begin as either Fighting-Men or Magic-Users and freely switch class whenever they choose, from adventure to adventure, but not during the course of a single game. Thus, they gain the benefits of both classes and may use both weaponry and spells. They may use magic armor and still act as Magic-Users. However, they may not progress beyond 4th level Fighting-Man (Hero) nor 8th level Magic-User (Warlock). Elves are more able to note secret and hidden doors. They also gain the advantages noted in the CHAINMAIL rules when fighting certain fantastic creatures. Finally, Elves are able to speak the languages of Orcs, Hobgoblins, and Gnolls in addition to their own (Elvish) and the other usual tongues.

Let's look at Chainmail then too.

Chainmail, p. 29:

Armed with deadly bows and magical swords, Elves (and Fairies) are dangerous opponents considering their size and build. They can perform split-move and fire, even though they are footmen. When invisible Elves (and Fairies) cannot attack — or be attacked unless located by an enemy with the special ability to detect hidden or invisible troops — but they can become visible and attack during the same turn. Those Elves (and Fairies) armed with magical weapons add an extra die in normal combat, and against other fantastic creatures they will perform even better:...

Above is followed with a list of various creatures and dice modifiers, as well as instructions to see rules for Magical Weapons.

Chainmail, p. 38:

Enchanted Arrows: ... Treat Elves armed with Enchanted Arrows as Hero-types for purposes of missile fire against fantastic targets. ...

Magical Swords: ... Besides allowing Elves to combat certain fantastic figures, they give a plus 1 to the dice score when employing the Fantasy Combat Table, and Magical Swords shed a light of their own over a circle 12” in diameter, which dispels darkness—but does not equal full light.

Chainmail, p. 39:

Elves are listed as Neutral.

Chainmail, p. 43:

SPECIAL ABILITY A – The ability to become invisible (Hobbits only in brush or woods)

SPECIAL ABILITY B – The ability to see in normal darkness as if it were light

SPECIAL ABILITY C – The ability to split move and fire

Men & Magic, p. 9:

Elves are included in both Law and Neutrality lists.

Monsters & Treasure, p. 9:

GHOULS: As stated in CHAINMAIL for Wights, Ghouls paralyze any normal figure they touch, excluding Elves.

Monsters & Treasure, p. 16:

... Elves have the ability of moving silently and are nearly invisible in their gray-green cloaks. Elves armed with magical weapons will add one pip to dice rolled to determine damage, i.e. when a hit is scored the possible number of damage points will be 2–7 per die. Elves on foot may split-move and fire. Mounted Elves may not split-move and fire, for they are not naturally adapted to horseback.

Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, pp. 8–9:

Secret passages ... Elves will be able to locate them on a roll of 1–4. At the referee’s option, Elves may be allowed the chance to sense any secret door they pass, a 1 or a 2 indicating that they become aware that something is there. ... When characters come to a door they may “listen” to detect any sound within. ... A roll of 1 for humans, and 1 or 2 for Elves, Dwarves, or Halflings will detect sound within if there is any to be heard.

I am not exactly sure about the connection between Chainmail invisibility and how it is described in Monsters & Treasure. It sounds like this ability is derived from their equipment rather than something innate. That's why I will include Elven Cloak and Boots (Monsters & Treasure p. 37) with all elven characters I roll:

Elven Cloak and Boots: Wearing the Cloak makes a person next to invisible, while the Boots allow for totally silent movement.

To sum up, elves have the following abilities and limitations:

• Class: Fighting-Man up to Hero (4th level) and Magic-User up to Warlock (8th level).
• Alignment: Law or Neutrality.
• Languages: Elvish, Alignment, Common (20%), Orc, Hobgoblin, Gnoll
• Can switch between Fighting-Man and Magic-User between adventures.
• Can use magic armour as Magic-User.
• See in normal darkness as if it were light.
• Detect sound on 1–2 on d6.
• Sense secret passages on 1–2 on d6.
• Locate secret passages on 1–4 on d6.
• Split move and fire.
• Immune to ghoul paralysis.
• +1 damage with magical weapons.

Somebody really liked elves!

With humans out of the way it is time to roll up some dwarves.

So, what are options available to them, using only original Dungeons & Dragons little brown booklets?

Dwarves may opt only for the fighting class, and they may never progress beyond the 6th level (Myrmidon).

In return, they get some additional benefits.

Men & Magic, p. 7:

Their advantages are: 1) they have a high level of magic resistance, and they thus add four levels when rolling saving throws (a 6th-level dwarf equals a 10th-level human); 2) they are the only characters able to fully employ the +3 Magic War Hammer (explained in Book II); 3) they note slanting passages, traps, shifting walls and new construction in underground settings; and 4) they are able to speak the languages of Gnomes, Kobolds and Goblins in addition to the usual tongues (see LANGUAGES in this book).

Men & Magic, p. 9:

Dwarves/Gnomes appear on both fLaw and Neutrality alignment charts.

Men & Magic, p. 12:

LANGUAGES: The “common tongue” spoken throughout the “continent” is known by most humans. All other creatures and monsters which can speak have their own language, although some (20%) also know the common one.

Monsters & Treasure, p. 16:

Because of their relatively small size, clumsy monsters like Ogres, Giants and the like will have a difficult time hitting Dwarves, so score only one-half the usual hit points when a hit is scored. ... They are otherwise as outlined in CHAINMAIL.

Oh, we have to check Chainmail as well!

Chainmail, p. 29:

DWARVES (and Gnomes): Because their natural habitat is deep under the ground, these stout folk operate equally well day or night. Although they are no threat to the larger creatures. Trolls, Ogres, and Giants find them hard to catch because of their small size, so count only one-half normal kills when Dwarves and Gnomes fight with them, for either attacks upon the Dwarves and Gnomes or returns should the Dwarves be the attacker. Goblins and Kobolds are their natural (and most hated) enemies, and Dwarves (Gnomes) will attack Goblins (Kobolds) before any other enemies in sight, regardless of orders to the contrary. However. Dwarves and Gnomes will not have to roll an “obedience die” (as do Knights) to follow orders, i.e.. they will not automatically attack, but if ordered to attack, and Goblins (Kobolds) are within charging distance, they will attack the Goblin (Kobold) formation to the exclusion of orders to the contrary.

Chainmail, p. 38:

Dwarves dig twice as fast as an equal number of human sappers. They may attempt 2 more mines or counter-mines than usual.

Chainmail, p. 39:

Dwarves appear only on Law alignment chart, contradicting Men & Magic. I will go with Men & Magic since it came out latter.

Chainmail, p. 43:

SPECIAL ABILITY B – The ability to see in normal darkness as if it were light

Back to Dungeons & Dragons, this time third booklet.

Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, pp. 8–9:

Secret passages will be located on the roll of a 1 or a 2 (on a six-sided die) by men, dwarves or halflings. ... When characters come to a door they may “listen” to detect any sound within. ... A roll of 1 for humans, and 1 or 2 for Elves, Dwarves, or Halflings will detect sound within if there is any to be heard.

Summing up, dwarves have the following abilities and limitations:

• Class: Fighting-Man up to Myrmidon (6th level).
• Alignment: Law or Neutrality.
• Languages: Dwarven, Alignment, Common (20%), Gnome, Kobold, Goblin.
• See in normal darkness as if it were light.
• Detect sound on 1–2 on d6.
• Note slanting passages, traps, shifting walls and new construction in underground settings.
• Dig twice as fast as humans.
• Can fully employ the +3 Magic War Hammer.
• Attack Goblins and Kobolds before any other enemies in sight, regardless of orders to the contrary.
• Trolls, Ogres, Giants, and clumsy monsters score only half-damage.
• High magic resistance, add four levels when rolling saving throws.

Now I am ready to roll some dwarf Heroes!
