Troll Lord Games

<t>2nd Edition FR actually had some really great storylines and metaplot. But yes, the high level NPCs are hard to get past. <br/> <br/> I think that D&D suffers from the same problem in whatever edition it comes out in, it suffers from power creep, or as someone else said, the D&D Arms Race...

Bump.

This is such an awesome looking sheet, I was just wondering what the progress was.

<t>I'm afraid that I housed rule the move attack systems to mimic the way that 3E does them. There aren't alot of things I like about the 3E system anymore, but that is one of them. <br/> <br/> What I do like is that this is a simple implementation in C&C. I house ruled it and it seems like noth...

Thanks to everyone for their input. It helped alot.

What part of Texas are you in? Beaumont, Texas here.

<t>Thanks for the welcome, falrinth. I can understand your point. I haven't had a chance to play C&C yet (my books don't get here until tomorrow), but I do plan on spending next weekend playing with my son. He is currently running multiple characters in a 3.5 game using Goodman Games DCC modules...

Good points all, especially about the abstraction.

Quote: We're given the primes (physical or mental) of the critters and the mechanics for checks involving thoses dont require the actual defacto attribute number. This means that all monsters don't benefit from being really strong, really dextrous, or having a powerful personality. Those numbers ar...

Yes, that is an easy way to handle it. I suppose just adding whatever bonuses you want whenever you want them is the way to go. Its easy to adjudicate and easier to keep track of.

<t>Yeah, that is good advice. How well does it balance with the core C&C classes though? <br/> <br/> I've another question. What if you wanted a kobold, gobling or some other creature to be "a cut above the rest" of this species? Are their rules for dealing with this, or do you simply just raise...

<t>I totally understand the approach of keeping it simple. However, beyond internal consistency, the Hill Giant gets a bth equal to his hit dice, just as a fighter does. But a fighter gets his strength bonus to the roll. For me, that is where I look for a bonus based on their strength. <br/> <br/> I...

Oh, well that is good news then. I was reading over at Dragonsfoot that it had been put on the backburner.

I'm not really disappointed, really. C&C is a really solid rules system and so far this is the only issue that I have with it.

<t>Hello C&C fans. I've been reading through these and the older forums, trying to decide if a move over to C&C would be good for me or not. <br/> <br/> I've played 3rd Edition since before it was released and our group was chosen as playtesters of the month at one point. <br/> <br/> I have,...
