Rest in Peace Kayolan! My condolences to his family and also to the members here who regularly got to play C&C (and other games) with him. He will be missed.

Re: 5E Type spellcasing Bard fro C&C?

The 1e bard was a hot mess. One started as a fighter for 5 levels, then a thief for 5 levels, then actually become a bard with druid spells. I would actually suggest using the paladin/ranger spell progression (no spells till L9). The hottest mess ever! 1ed bard best bard :) I've used class-n-half B...

At the risk of being a wet blanket.. is the setting worth $65?
Fair question.. It's a dense book. It's really environs around Castle Greyhawk the Castle, in great detail. IF settings are your thing it would be a good resource.

Re: Rule about C&C multi-class I have never understood

Yes 1d6 in the case of Fighter / Wizard. Yes you lose out a little bit compared to rolling both and dividing by 2. Adding +1 would fix the range in this case so you might wanted to looks and the possible ranges of the combos and make a house rule. On the other hand multi-class is a huge power jump. ...

Re: Very important message regarding the forums

Well it's survived many deaths so far. I for one am glad that Bifford volunteered to be point on the Forum. But as I've demonstrated from the beginning, I will always step in when doom has been announced. So as long TLG keeps paying the hosting billing this forum will keep going.

Re: Use of Nets

Got me wondering about this so I went all the way back Gygax D2 - Shrine of the Kuo-Toa because I know they used nets... Sadly no specific mechanic is listed there either. So my gut is, roll to hit (touch attack) then save vs (Dex) to avoid entangle.

Re: Homebrew system for illusionist healing spells

No downside... Illusionists are fun in C&C they scream to be played. I personally just threw away the entire save on healing stuff. I see Illusionists as the C&C Psychic or Psionicist class and don't sandbag them with the extra junk.

Re: Rune Mark questions/clarification

These are all great question... Sorry thus far no one has chimed in. I've never used the Rune Mark so I'm pretty clueless. My gut on the SR question is ignore the blanket statement and use the SR No/Yes per rune. SR should be pretty hard to overcome by Magic regardless of the form.
