Re: [DF] A Portal Fantasy within a Dungeon Fantasy: Where's Alice?
Most artwork I've seen of Alice seemed to have her in the 12 to 15 year old age group, by my estimate, with an older sister who is probably 16 to 20 herself (the sister never visits Wonderland, near as I can tell). Alice being a "spare" or even a "third" in a noble or other well-to-do family may let her pursue skills that wouldn't normally be typical, but this is DF-Land. Maybe spares and thirds are encouraged to be adventurers to help supplement the family fortune?

Re: [DF] A Portal Fantasy within a Dungeon Fantasy: Where's Alice?
For the Vorpal Blade, might I recommend making it a DF variant of a UT Superfine blade?

It is not that she can't have such levels of skill or stats being a kid, the genre could allow it. However, stretching her luck to 48 lucky breaks an in-game day (by taking the highest of possible multipliers) under the assumption she wouldn’t make it otherwise, does not make much sense; her skills and stats (akin to a Navy Seal’s) offset the argument, especially when the 62 CP players are expected to survive while she has 4 times the budget.

After the changes you made, the advantage is clear.

It even inspired the ultimate GM vs players series: the Grimtooth Trap which effectively had Grimtooth's Dungeon of Doom as its capstone. As bad as Tomb of Horrors was it looked like a Sunday school picnic by comparison to Dungeon of Doom. Today you could say it wasn't D&D but SCP and everyone was D class. ;-)

Maybe my math was off? I thought 13 would be roughly ~90% of 15. So adult Alice would have IQ 15 and DX 15... DX 15, sure, but conceptually I'd cap adult Alice's IQ at 13. Young Alice is just a exceptional little girl. She'd have to be to get through Dungeonland in one piece. |

If nothing else, the players won't have too much time to feel humiliated that a little girl is just that much better than them. Ideally she departs from the party of PCs sometime after this arc of the campaign, one way or another if she isn't returned to her father. I see your concerns, Hide, but it seems as if you're exaggerating the magnitude of the issues (that are not really present as far as I'm concerned). |

Of course, if you wanted to have the stats you gave her scale up as I described when she gets older (provided the party is successful in saving her), that can certainly also work. She may well end up a fairly legendary adventurer or similar.
