<t>Well, Con is a good prime. As Serelan said befor, it is all about poison. I do not know about your campaigns, but in mine, poison is by far the most common save, thus Con helps your char to survive. <br/> <br/> And there is more about it. An assassins Death Attack is a Con Save, not Cha like thos...

<t>Serveral of you seem to have had real problems with FR power creep. <br/> <br/> Maybe, when using that stuff in AD&D (seems to be ages ago ) my players were not as able as they became after many years of 3e training, but I just never had that problem. Except for the specialty priests in the G...

<t>Well,<br/> <br/> I think (and thats really a very personal opinion) the one thing you should add to gain a more realmsian flavor is spells.

<t>Sorry to disapoint you, there are no such rules in C&C. To me as a DM, that is a huge benefit, as it allows me to create monsters on the fly.<br/> <br/> (Choose HD Type, #Attacks, Dmg, Special Abilities, if it has some, and Mental or Physical Primes... finished.)<br/> <br/> But I see your poi...
