Re: Increasing Challenge for Shadows of Halfling Hall
1969 was a great year for the birth of Game Masters ! This is by far one of my top ten modules of all time. When I worked it into my Ravenloft campaign (prior to the mist snatchin up my pc's) the fighter was fifth level and one of our jesters was fourth level. This took several sessions to complete,...

Re: The Venture into RavenLoft: C&C Style

Re: Resurrection question
I like how the 2ed Legend and Lore book had given clerics spell access based upon the spheres of influence a deity had.
Not all gods gave a cleric access to the necromancy sphere. Those clerics couldn't pray for raise dead or resurrection spells.

Re: Penalty for Breaking Alignment.
I do like this simplified approach, it does make this situation easier.
Makes sense with C&C game structure, being light on rules as it is.

Re: Penalty for Breaking Alignment.
Really ? Alignment has been that simplified in C&C ? In older additions of ad&d penalties were harsh, resulting in higher XP to attain next levels, loss of certain class abilities, etc... , regardless of divine relation to the class itself. I am similar when it comes to alignments in most ca...

Penalty for Breaking Alignment.
Normally when I am CK'n in recent years I am not concerned with my players even picking an alignment. I rather go by how a character has chosen to play off his character and stays within his character. With certain exception: paladin, character worshiping a certain deity , etc.. BUT as of late deiti...

It was very easy to have the sword dominate it wielder if the character wasn't evil and on top of feeding the sword. Blac...

Re: Turning the Paladin
. I like your point of view, but a 20th level Paladin turns undead better than a 5th level evil cleric. A 5th level cleric wouldn't have a chance of turning a 25th level Paladin without some exceptional role-playing the turning and a very generous siege bonus/difficultly rating from the CK. But in ...

Shadows of The Halfling Hall
One of the best beginner/low level modules ever created.
It will challenge your characters if many ways and has a tight storyline.
I highly recommend it !

That is a great thing to hear. I suspect being in a larger metro area like Dallas helps significantly with locating players, though. You would think that !
