<t>Sorry for doubleposting again. But the more I think on it, the magic system I'm proposing has two advantages over it's apparent loss.<br/> <br/> First, no more needing to prepare spells. If you have it in your book, (Or learned it) you can cast it.<br/> <br/> Second, although there IS a chance fo...

You wouldn't have a bigger version of the picture on page 124 of C&C PHB?

I'm trying to see what's there, I think I see a pose I want to copy as I like to sketch.

I suppose you're right... Hmm...

Treebore wrote: You know, as I sit here thinking about it, thats not a bad idea. Give the fighter types their BtH as a damage bonus in the surprise round, when it is achieved. I personally do it for all attacks, because I believe massive physical damage is a Fighter's bread and butter. A rogue and ...

Treebore wrote: I agree, but like I said, I don't think it needs concentration like a spell does. So if he stops for a second here or there, no big deal. So I have no problem with Exalt working in combat. Greater Exaltation I might require it to be treated as a full action. I'll make that decision ...

Treebore wrote: If I know you are behind me with a dagger I am not going to let you hit me any more than I would if you were in front of me. So if you want to hit a critical area your going to have to attack me without me knowing it. Anyone who knows how to fight knows where the "best" ar...

<t>Okay, here's my thought on creating a 'skill' based magic system without adding a skill system.<br/> <br/> First of all, seeing as which the Primes of the caster classes are ALREADY primary I'm going to assume a base difficulty of 12.<br/> <br/> Now each spell adds their level to the difficulty, ...

Treebore wrote: The reason I let the bard use their ability during battle is because a "battle cry" is one of the things listed as to how they can give their aid. Plus I imagine a Bard practices their "song" to the point where they can recite it without much thought. That his &q...

moriarty777 wrote: I Guess what I'd suggest is similar and comparable but different enough to perhaps give the fighter enough of an edge so that a player would have to thing *REAL* hard on whether to play a Fighter or a Ranger. That being said, I have no solid advice on what that would be. Well, I'...

First off, I want to say that I may be coming off a bit strong here, and I'd like to apologize for it. I am not in anyway saying your way is 'wrong'. It's not, it's just your way. And I just happen to disagree with it. Treebore wrote: I look at this Bard as the singing fighter. Doesn't get to wear g...

Treebore wrote: As long as it is in some way a surprise. I don't agree with extra damage just because they are attacking from behind. I do agree with the to hit bonus. So knowing where to stick that dagger and having the time to put it where it hurts most, shouldn't net an extra bonus? What about A...

irda ranger wrote: No, I just don't see why you're taking the D10 HD away from the Bard with no corresponding boost elsewhere. Normally you pare down a class like that when you think it's too good as is. Do you think this Bard is too powerful? I don't think that's what you're saying. This isn't a D...

irda ranger wrote: Yes. They made me laugh. I ignore them. I can't there are too many weapons with the same damage code but cost more. irda ranger wrote: The Weapons & Armor section of the C&C PHB is hands down the weakest section. I love C&C absolutely for its rules and feel, but I hav...

irda ranger wrote: I also think your Fighter is too strong. I agree the one from the book needs some tweaking, but I think you went overboard. Also, "Combat Marauder" and "Combat Sense" are other classes' abilities. Let them keep them, and make up something else for the Fighter....

moriarty777 wrote: Hmm... I think the fighter might be getting a bit much. I do see where you're getting at though but I think the Combat Marauder ability as you intend to use it is why it irks me a bit. I find one of the most appealing aspects of the Ranger is the combat marauder ability. Sure, a ...

<t>I've had some time to think it over, and I've come to a few things I am going to add, alter or remove.<br/> <br/> Now bear in mind my conceits and likes will be affecting this, but this is what I was thinking of doing in my games.<br/> <br/> First off, the first class in the book, the Fighter.<br...

gideon_thorne wrote: I do fighters as I have always done anyhow. Extra attacks every 6 levels. I recall the 10th level attack as a kind of 'split the difference' between the 7th and 13th levels from AD&D. But I went my own way some time back and haven't changed much. For C&C, if you really ...

The problem I have is that the Fighter doesn't get anything. At all. Other than to hit things. Can't track, can't climb, can't lift things, hell he doesn't do that much damage, none of those things don't allow him to add his level to SIEGE checks.

<t>All I can say is because I was in multiple horrid AD&D games in which the GM played by the book, and made most NPC's 0th level, the PC's went on a rampage, because they didn't want to take any lip from people who weren't their 'equals'. Which meant soldiers, guardsmen, kings and anyone who wa...
