Troll Lord Games

<t>I did what another poster suggested.<br/> <br/> I let Clerics pick one spell per spell level (one 1st, one 2nd, etc) that can be cast spontaneously. The GM and the player decide together what spell would best reflect the diety's portfolio.<br/> <br/> So far, this has worked really well for us, bu...

<t>Interesting.<br/> <br/> Just so you know, I ruled that the Elf and Half-Elf got saves with the listed bonus. <br/> <br/> I also gave the Dwarf a save since they have their arcane magic resistance, but now that Treebore mentions it, maybe I will just let him roll a d20 and resist Arcane spells on ...

<t>This came up in our first session this last Saturday (which, overall went quite well!).<br/> <br/> If the Sleep spell has no save, then why to Elves get a +10 bonus to Sleep saves (and Half-Elves get their lesser saves)?<br/> <br/> Do people just let Elves (and Half-Elves) get saves (with bonuses...

<r>I'm pretty much a heretic in these parts, since I thought 3.x was a humongous improvement to the previous editions of D&D, and I really have to struggle against the nostalgia inherent in C&C.<br/> <br/> So you probably won't be too suprised to hear that I use the 3.x point buy system. I a...

<r>Int seems pretty generally usefull to me, since it would serve for knowledge rolls based on the character's class and background.<br/> <br/> I had forgotten about the +2 to encumbrance if Con is Prime, so that is definitely a benefit.<br/> <br/> What prompted my concern is that I drew up a chart ...

<t>Aside from class requirments and saving throws, is there any reason to set constitution as a Prime attribute?<br/> <br/> I could see the GM asking for a Con check when running long distances or for any feat of endurance, but in my gaming experience that tends to hardly every come up.<br/> <br/> I...

So, do the various player races get ALL of the languages listed in the race description?

Or is that just a list that they can pick from for getting extra languages due to INT bonus?

<t>I'll add into the chorus of praise.<br/> <br/> This is definitely the best sheet I've seen for C&C! Nice work!<br/> <br/> A quick question though... What font is the word "AMMO" in? It shows up as courier for me...<br/> <br/> And imperialus, according to Acrobat the sheet was made in OpenOffi...

<t>Thanks for the replies.<br/> <br/> I pretty much agree with everything you guys have said, but...<br/> <br/> The main reason I am asking is that one of my players has said that he wants to create "an illusionist who eventually wants to become a sage, interested in geography and history."<br/> <br...

<t>So how are people handling Knowledge Skills in their games?<br/> <br/> I assume they are INT based. But if someone has INT as a Prime do you just let them roll to know pretty much anything?<br/> <br/> Do you base it on Class and character background? ie, Rangers would be able to do an INT check t...

Nothing like letting a PC pick up a bar wench only for her to turn around with a 5 CHA.

Two words.

<r>So here's the current list of house-rules that I am planning on using for my upcoming C&C Age of Worms Adventure Path camaign (one of the players had GMed part of Shackled City, so I made the change).<br/> <br/> I should give a bit of background to put this all in context. I played Basic and ...

That is, indeed, an excellent idea.

Consider it yoinked!

<t>Wow!<br/> <br/> Great info everyone. Very helpful!<br/> <br/> I'm going to run a short d20 1st level adventure just so everyone can get a feel for the game before we plunge into the Shackled City.<br/> <br/> Right now I will try both "the subtract 15 from the DC" method, and my "roll, and add lev...

<t>So I'm getting ready to run the Shackled City adventure path using C&C, and I'm a bit concerned with the the various experience progression charts. As you will see if you can manage to make it all the way through this post, I have been over-thinking the issue quite a bit...<br/> <br/> The Sha...

<t>Okay, new guy here. Completely burned out on D&D 3.5 with it's ponderous battles and horrendous prep time. I am looking to C&C to give me a more streamlined play experience, and am planning on running Shackled City using this system.<br/> <br/> I should probably state C&C seems to be ...

How do skill checks work for the a class like the Rogue?

For example. If you have a Fighter3/Rogue2 and the character is trying to sneak, do they add their character level (5) or just their rogue level (2)?
