This chapter will describe the powers, species, ability scores and equipment my MC has in a D&D format.
Spells and Background will go into a different chapter.
The relevant documents for more details can be found in the Players handbook of 2014 and 2024. But most if the time I will following the rules of the 2024 edition.
Creative interpretation and changes has been made by me so that things may either be harder to do or easier to do that in D&D so to not break the world.
An example would be the 9th-level spell Wish. By making the casting time, that is normally 1 single action, changing it into a ritual and making it so that it will cost something my MC cannot simply spam it each day to basically change reality into whatever he wants.
Secondly I'm changing how Item attunement/ item creation works. In Danmachi creation of magical items is completely different and the way to Attun yourself to an item doesn't exist so I'm dropping that entirely because there are some items I want to give him that never existed and would never exist in the first place in the original story.
Changes to the Species has also been made. But only in regards to ability scores and to give him some special spell casting feature that normally are impossible by standard rules.
Now into the real fun stuff. The MC himself.
The scores themselves are basically useless in the way they would represent themselves. Because of that I made it so that the represent the maximum stat one can achieve in the system of danmachi. They are basically a numerical way of showing how fast one can grow a stat. The modifiers that normally would influence a roll will in this instance show the difference between a normal human and the MC and other races.
Example would my MC who has a 8 in Strength and a 20 in intelligence.
An 8 has a -1 modifier and in this story the maximum stat he would have would be at maximum 799 in Strength and growth beyond is possible but extremely hard because then the modifier kicks in.
Another way of calling that would be talent each individual has that allows one to grow. And Exept for specific skills, like the one Bell has, growing beyond the S rank stat of 999 is normally impossible unless one has the talent for it. I will post a stat sheet that shows what I mean in a more numerical way.
Each class hat specific Features that make it unique. Some of those I plan to change a little to better make it work and those changes will be written down, not the entire description. So please go read the original Players handbook for more information

The way stats work in Danmachi is that there are only 5 stats that influence a person. However only three of them can have a direct connection with D&D and are marked with *.
As such I decided that the maximum amount of stat points he can get be the following
Strength: max rank C 799 (growth to rank A 899 and S 999 possible but extremely hard to do)
Endurance: max rank S 999 (Influenced by Constitution + less hits higher growth+ smal potential growth beyond S)
Dexterity: max rank S 999
Agility: max rank S 999 (Based on the skill Acrobatics )
Magic: max rank SSS 1299 (is Influenced by intelligence+ growth beyond S rank is easier but have to break the limits of the human body before it can be reached)
