Re: Arcanist - Generic Character Class
Hey, man, sorry for the late response. I'm a bit lazy about checking the forums. I believe what you're referring to is the references in the Companion about trading off spell casting levels to pick up generic class abilities. By deciding not to advance a level as a spellcaster, the Arcanist can inst...

Request for clarification re: Mighty Blow (p. 51), please.

I'm not quite sure if this is an error, but it seems like one. In "The Heart of Yhtill," p. 232, Act One, toward the end of the third paragraph, it reads, "Amanda insists that she has no idea why anyone would want to kill her husband..." At this point, however, it's her brother,...

Re: Palladium Fantasy Setting for C&C
Not interested in converting classes, just the races (some of which were their own class (RCC). C&C is THE system for me these days. Played many fantasy systems over the last 35 years, including Palladium. No system beats C&C for ease of use and old school feel...so if the setting won't wor...

Re: Palladium Fantasy Setting for C&C
The same could be said for any number of RPG systems back then, really. It’s amazing what we dealt with back then. Not that this is a defense of Palladium – they stuck to their universal system unchanged for so long. I’m no fan of the edition treadmill, but their system could’ve done with a serious...

Really, I must have missed it. I will have to give it a look. Page 95, Appendix 2. ;). With Wolfen / Gnolls, I had Wolfen HATE them (along with werewolves) in my home brew. Sure, sure. I just meant that Gnolls give you a good jumping-off point to determine the racial abilities you'll need to adapt ...

Re: Palladium Fantasy Setting for C&C
Many years ago I ran a long-term D&D 3.5 campaign using Palladium Fantasy's setting, which is one of my all-time favorite settings. I think it'd translate pretty well to C&C. You'd need to so some work to adapt the various races--look at Gnolls for Wolfen, as a hint--and balance them as PC c...

CAPTCHAs.
No, seriously. I keep a list of CAPTCHAs that I encounter in a text file. Many are junk, but some are outstanding inspiration for fantasy names.

Re: Mind flayer
The OGL allows nearly any monster TSR/WOTC has ever done to be used "as is". IE copy/paste it straight from their SRD. THIS is key. If it's not in the SRD, it's likely not available. It's not about what has been expressly protected; it's about what has and has not been expressly allowed. ...
