Re: outsiders
Isn't 'outsider' a 2nd or 3rd edition category for dwellers beyond the material world, not including undead, so elementals, demons, devils, and so forth?

Re: Rosetta Stone?
As above, only I seem to take more time with the enemy spellcasters since old AD&D spellcasters had less spells per level. Beyond that, minimal prep, can do it on the fly as long as the spell casters are low level. Third edition modules, I run as is using a few easy conversions, like dropping ex...

Re: PCs Starting at Level 5
Welcome aboard RyhopeWood. If you still own quite a few of the old AD&D adventures (I'm thinking 1st edition here), look at the pre-generated characters that many of the modules had and use them as a source for magic at the levels you seek. That will give you the TSR view on what a 5th level PC ...

Re: Best psionics system for C&C
As a DM, psionics for PCs, I can take it or leave it. The chances are slim a PC will actually get it, but if the players like the option, and I'm speaking about AD&D and not C&C where it isn't an option if I'm the CK, than I give them the chance. That said, psionics are very important for so...

Paladinn,
Thanks for the reply on the connection.
I thought the druids all but exterminated by the Romans by around A.D. 70 or 80. I'm sure some survived, but enough to continue to have a strong influence in Roman and post-Roman Britain?

One other thing to give some thought to. Perhaps you should create some magic items only bards can use, similar to those in the old AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide, create ones from scratch, or augment magical musical instruments already in C&C to give more powers if a bard uses them. By having y...

If you can find it, take a look at the Bard class from Dragon Magazine Vol. VI, no. 6 (December 1981) issue. This is what I use for my AD&D game and might give you some inspiration. The article is "Singing a New Tune - A Different Bard, Not Quite So Hard," by Jeff Goelz. My C&C pla...

My group enjoys the DCC-RPG funnels and high death rate, but all of them (except one) find C&C their preferred RPG with DCC-RPG the back up where you never fully invest in your PC. My friend, the odd-man out, prefers DCC-RPG far and away over C&C or 1st edition AD&D because of the danger...

I don't see the Paladin as being under powered. No problems with Smite Evil not arriving until 9th level.
