Generally, a spell cast by a divine caster will use Wisdom if the caster makes the save/check; Intelligence will be used if done so by an arcane caster as these are their "governing attribute." Special cases would ordinarily be called out as exceptions. For me, I prefer to have a remove curse be som...

My wife insisted we watch Cinderella II: Dreams Come True. I died.

One more regular place to post for sales is at Dragonsfoot in the Classifieds. https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=21 However, it is suggested that you at least try to build up some sort of "reputation" by contributing to ongoing discussions. And, of course, any D&D-like forum might h...

You can complicate this further. Some creatures, like ghosts, can coexist in Ethereal and Prime. While so manifested, they can be struck by either magical weapons or spell effects. If, however, they are in the Ethereal only, sources on the Prime cannot affect them (with some exceptions.) This would ...

My wife was sneaky and found a way to back Order of the Vampire Hunters (the new KS) so we'll dig into that when it gets here. Otherwise, I recently got my copy of Miremarsh and hope it is fun.

I was finally able to find someone willing to sell Starstone and Embertrees. I have not yet received them, but I will. And then I will read them.

It may depend on age of corpse. In this case, perhaps a fell spirit has animated the dead into whatever form they are, sort of like a possession. In this type of situation, maybe dispel evil or holy word can work. Forgotten Realms had "undeath to death" which would instantly destroy any undead so so...

Any with an excessive amount of additional bookkeeping built into it, like a deepspawn or living wall.

serleran, Have you tried on line gaming, fantasy grounds or the like? I'm in a game of that, not bad to play in... but harder to run... 5e makes lots ready to use... costs some money, but allows you to play with folks far away... Unfortunately, I do not have a non-work PC available that would easil...

I think you're confusing something, or perhaps I am more stupid today -- both seem likely. Your chart (the one stated as "the only one needed") indicates that level 13 has a 24 normal difficulty. If that "normal" were a challenge of 1, the task is automatic (if Prime), noting that it may be automati...

From other players, never. Well, actually, once -- a half-orc barbarian. From, me, also only once -- a ranger with a 3 Charisma. He made it to level 6 before the game fizzled and we started over with most everyone as a dwarf. The other game, with the barbie orc also died out around 5th level before ...

This statement and therefore the entirety of the premise is walking a slippery rope; it is partially true but not entirely true: "The "challenge class" of tasks would have to increase as the characters level increases (This is implicite at the core of the default C&C rules)." The "challenge class" i...

As the tabletop version lost momentum and then was abandoned due to loss of interest and my time to learn coding basics diminished greatly (so as to make an electronic version), I think I will try another venue -- board game. At least make an effort. Something like 1995's Warhammer Quest but with Ru...

My wife and I have been backing several campaigns on Kickstarter and some of them started to arrive. Of those, we have tried a few recently: Deep Madness Cthulhu: Death May Die Black Rose Wars Arena: The Contest Darklight: Memento Mori There's a bunch more coming and I may have forgotten some we've ...

For Islam, there are some more general representations of stuff with some of these being more idealized... Star and crescent (technically linked to the Ottoman Empire but has become associated in general use). Colors (green, black, blue, gold are examples but also white and red, in geometric pattern...

It is essentially taken directly inspired by First Edition AD&D. Clearly there are people stronger and the values may not be perfectly "realistic" but they are not supposed to be -- merely to act as a gauge for what may not require a Strength check. I mean, if Guy X can lift 150 pounds, he doesn't n...

Egypt of course there is the ankh and scarab. But what else ? Maybe some of these? Canopic jars. Animal/human statues, especially cat/dog/crocodiles. Uraeus, for example. Wadjet / Ujat (Eye of Horus). Ankh. Sarcophagus. Burial implements. Body parts (ie, Osiris, like hand, ribs, etc.) Scepter / rod...

If the holding is a sort of force effect, similar to turning but that it prevents movement, I could see it -- would depend on how it is presented. AD&D had a hold undead spell so C&C could as well, if someone wanted it. Not that any precedence is needed. I personally would likely not name it hold un...

I have to throw HP out of the equation altogether as I do not like that someone with 4 HP (does not matter what class or level, but let's say magic-user or thief of 2nd level) maximum gets dealt damage that would kill them... but instead, unless the rules say something else (and it might have a cave...

Can't say I have, primarily as I have not finished reading the AA rules and that mostly because the group that played C&C disintegrated so I have no reason.

It may not help in the general sense, but what I tend to do is consider an attack like that described to be an overbearing one, with multiple hands increasing effective Strength/Dexterity and size (and/or other modifiers as required for the attack.) For example, I might decide that a single claw has...

Specifically, no. When I consider the "wound" process, HP are not used -- wounds replaces it which makes clerical healing far more effective. It also makes damage more frightening as any single hit could result in death, regardless of level. This then has numerous alterations across the board to arm...

It is not as cool as I remember (or maybe it is...) but here is what I did a while back; I'd probably add more details these days. Also, the fonts don't work anymore as embeds so the actual runes will look dumb.

I once posted a whole "to do" on use of classical Futhark. Not exactly the same though, but runic in nature.

And then I did some Oghams which are also similarly themed.

If I can get time, maybe I will post them again (wouldn't count on it.)

Not to be rude, but the official answer is: ranged weapons . Also, in a sense, dual-wielded weapons where the penalty can be offset. Some can also benefit from Strength adjustments such as muscle-powered hurled weapons (dagger, axe, some bows, etc.) For melee-only, Strength is the de facto attribute...

I don't.

If someone wants to be X/Y/Z or have abilities of this/that, then they get a new character class with its own progression.

I admit I do not know this game system well, at all, as I have bought it but not done much but open the cover. That doesn't mean I don't like it... I just have like 5000 books I haven't read either (and some are for systems I actively play like Shadowrun.) Anyway, I would think a good foundation is ...

I find I prefer making new classes as I feel the class-and-a-half is 'too easy' for martial characters and far too restrictive on magic-users.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it just does not for me.

But, one I like is barbarian-monk for a real gladiator/pit fighter.

Sure. One is a gargoyle I bought from the Eastern State Penitentiary. Another is a koala bear because 1) it was the first stuffed animal I ever had (found in on the street when I was about 2 years old) and 2) I like looking at koala bears. And the other is a bunny. Not very big but it was giving to ...

Yes, Wendy's the fast food chain....

They have made a 5th edition-based RPG.
