Troll Lord Games

Great, thanks - and thanks for the pointer to pgs 110-112...I'd forgotten about them

So actually, obvious though it sounds (and is), how the challenge level is arrived at is fairly irrelevant, just set a number that's appropriate for the task in hand!

...also, the characters in the example in the PHB are 5th and 6th levels...

Yes, it does help, thanks
In your example, you set the CL to -10, is that because you think the task to be very simple, even for the halfling?

<t>I'm just reading through the Example of Play at the back of the PHB and I have a couple of questions concerning attribute checks...<br/> <br/> The Example of Play states: '...A 12 comes up on Bjorn's player's die, but that is enough to beat his prime challenge base of 12, meaning that the seasone...

Brilliant
Thanks again - It's very, very useful to have almost instantaneous answers. C&C must be very popular

Great, thanks
So, just to make certain, a Wereboar (first page I came to!), who has 5d8 HD, would get a +5 to any checks (and no other mods)?

<t>Hi All<br/> <br/> This should be very simple for most....I'm sure I've missed it in the rules or haven't read it yet...<br/> <br/> It concerns carrying out checks for monsters/npc's. If, for example, a fighter (character) attempts to 'move silently' past a sleeping guard, he does not add his leve...

Aha, got it
Pg 5 of the M&T confirms:

'..For example a Dryad's spell resistance is 10 and it is listed on the Special heading as 'SR 10'...'

That's what I was after - thank you bighara

<t>Thanks for all that.<br/> <br/> Sorry people, but I'm still struggling <br/> My understanding is: <br/> <br/> Spell Resistance is completely separate from Saving Throws and is a check done by the caster of a spell when the target has some form of in-built spell resistance. The caster needs to rol...

<t>Hi All<br/> <br/> I'm just reading about Spell Resistance and need a little guidance please...<br/> <br/> The PHB says '...d20 roll must be equal to or greater than the spell resistance of the target...'<br/> <br/> I can't seem to find anywhere how a target / character determines their Spell Resi...

<t>Thanks again - I'm reading the PDF version of the PHB now, so questions may follow, although on first impressions, it seems really well written (in that, a novice like myself can get to grips with most elements...so far!)<br/> <br/> However, if any of you can remember your first attempts as Castl...

<t>Thanks for the help - Looks like I'll be going for the PHB and M&T to begin with, with a view to other modules later - The links look very handy as well (The Rising Knight etc), thanks again.<br/> <br/> By the way, is this the correct area of the forum to be posting this type of query? (as I ...

<t>Hi All<br/> <br/> I'm looking for a bit of guidance please...I am interested in buying C&C, but am unsure which books/pdf's to invest in. I would like C&C's equivalent of a players, monsters and DM's guide. Do I need the Players Handbook and the Monsters & Treasures books and that's i...
