I wouldn't mind if it was something that made sense but it's a -Edu to being male. Most doctors were men so it felt like a poor way to try and be fair to giving women a -1 Str, which makes sense if we're being realistic but doesn't really need to be written into the rules.

In the time period, most non-noble men weren't formally educated, as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if we were doing this normally, the PCs would have had one or more terms to gain extra skills or stats. My usual process is to let the players pick from the allowed tables, and you could have a fairly well educated gentleman if you put your high stat there and added "skills".

Then Hans is an even worse doctor than he was. Edited appropriately.

I'm going to have the Mods archive this. The theory is that we can un-archive when there's more to test. The reality is that there's a lot of work that needs to be done and my plate is loaded with higher life-priority tasks.

Any final questions or concerns?

It was a fun time. Thanks!

Can I ask what turned the adventurers into zombies before we call it quits?

The other party became supper. The "creature" was a man who had turned to cannibalism due to insanity. The other party was, like many 1st level groups, over confident, and succumbed to the creature, and the rats, one at a time.

Make sense?
