If I were planning on doing this I'd probably bump the top up to level 5. This ends up giving wizards either fireball or lightning bolt, some really iconic powers for high level wizards.David The Archmagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649391406526258069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5373792969086619654.post-39350981424939987522009-12-13T14:22:45.877-04:002009-12-13T14:22:45.877-04:00I always liked the Holmes basic book, and since I ...I always liked the Holmes basic book, and since I never owned the 1981 Moldvay revision of Basic D&D, I cannot compare / contrast the two.

IMO 'Red Box only' D&D would probably end up looking something like GW's Mordheim skirmish game (which I love unreservedly), or like the E6 version of 3E.
