Re: Hobgoblins as a playable race.

Downside being that while I own the 1980's boxed set for KoK I don't have the D20 version. I could tell you about Hobgoblin's linguistic structure according to KoK but there are no stats.

Hobgoblins as a playable race.

Wanted to get some opinions on this writeup for Hobgoblins I'd want to integrate into a PbP I'll be running soon. I think I've hit the tone I'm kinda aiming for but they feel a little underwhelming... Any suggestions would be welcome. Hobgoblins are not by definition evil. They are extremely lawful,...

Need ideas for a one shot Stat!

<t>Hey, first of all, hopefully this is the right forum. Second, wondering if I might pick the collective brains of the C&C fans here. I need a one shot by this Sunday (the 9th). I cross posted this on Dragonsfoot but figured I'd try here too.<br/> <br/> An old member of my gaming group is going...

<t>@Treebore: my only issue with your method would probably come down to bookkeeping.

<t>Just to clarify, to in the spirit of KISS a first level spell costs 1 PP, a second level spell costs 2, a third level spell costs 3, ect. Also the spells themselves will be drawn from the different spellcasting styles but it will be a very limited list. It doesnt mean you can crack open the PHB a...

I'd almost forgotten how funny Wierd Al is. It's been years since I've listened to any of his music. Used to love him back in the "Smells Like Nirvana" and "Amish Paradise" days.

The CKG has been back burnered for now, mostly because it is just a collection of optional rules and modifications that a CK can cherry pick from to suit his campaign. There is a thread discussing it here

really nice character sheet. What program did you use before converting it to PDF? I only ask because I love the format but I plan on adding luck as a 7th ability score so I'd have to muck about with it and get that added.

Looks really interesting. Question though (and perhaps you have answered it I just havn't found it in the document) how do you ballance the classes that were formerly ballanced via XP tables?

<t>not a bad idea... brainstorming here but perhaps if at the begining of each session players make a luck check.
