Re: Sentence on p.125 (PHB 4th ed)

I agree and will handle it the same. But i would not "generally recommend" not letting players try other-class abilities. Everybody should be able to try to climb, move silently and listen. Why shouldn't a wizard be able to decipher writings as a bard (with class lvl)? Most other class abi...

Re: Initiative

I'll try it btb tomorrow. Let's see how it compares. I could use Maptool but i really think combat is better resolved with the player's dice.

Re: Initiative

Is there a way to make this easy on the DM (Do i have to say CK? :) ) and the time it takes to resolve combat? One argument i made for the system switch was faster combat with C&C.

Initiative

As i understand the PHB everyone (or groups) rolls a d10 in every combat round. Isn't that quite cumbersome, what is the advantage of this? I always played initiative as a once at the start of a combat roll. (I know everyone house rules, but i at least saw one thread where people argued to play btb,...

"There will be times when a player will want a character to attempt an action that intrudes in the realm of the class ability of another character class. For example, a fighter might wish to open a lock, or a wizard might attempt to track. It is up to the Castle Keeper to decide if such an act...

Re: Sentence on p.125 (PHB 4th ed)

Welcome, Incantatar, to the Crusade! I feel that it was the intention of the Trolls (at least, originally, and possibly still) to disallow classes to infringe on the abilities of other classes. But like many examples of how to adjudicate things (from how initiative is handled to what to give XP for...

Sentence on p.125 (PHB 4th ed)

Hi, after adding all errata found here to my C&C books, i read a sentence that really confused me. Sorry if that has been discussed before, i only found a 6-pages thread in another forum. A quick answer is all i need. In the first paragraph of "adding character level to checks" the PHB...
