Gahdammit. The books not even out yet and someone has to start this crap again...

Amateurs call it crap. Professional game developers call it feedback and quality control.

Please, oh please, and for the love of god, get someone professional to edit the thing. The appalling typos and grammatical errors on previous volumes are the biggest hurdles I face in convincing new players that C&C is a quality product.

Some great ideas. Thanks for the feedback, all.

Check out the point buys systems from 2e. They should work just fine as is really.

Which book are they in? It's been a while since I went through my non-monster 2e stuff.

Oh, I'm a dead-set point buy convert. I believed it to be heresy until recently, but a friend pointed out the wholesome, party-balancing goodness of it.

This has been asked before, no doubt, but have any ability point-buy systems been posted for C&C?

I looked at the one used by D&D, but it isn't really applicable because the bonuses are spread differently.

As I thought. Thanks.

I didn't want to start my first C&C campaign on that basis, then find I'd tinkered catastrophically with the game engine!

I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times before, but I wasn't around then.

Does it affect the running of the game at all to set all challenge bases at 18 and give primes a +6 bonus?

Ah, thank you.

Pardon my ignorance, but is it all "compatible" with the published C&C material?

Or DF's download section.

DF stands for?

Can anyone recommend sites that have useful downloads for C&C, such as character sheets?

What I'm mostly after right now is an inventory/encumbrance application, but anything else would be handy, too.

Thanks for the prompt replies. Quote: The rules regarding this in the PHB are very basic, but they are in there none-the-less, from movement to the bonuses based on flanking and rear positioning. That's good to know. The 3.5 rules are a bit too dense and slow for something which isn't a pure wargame...
