Re: Settings you have never played / ran, but would like to ?
I never tried Haunted Highlands, I've heard good things about it, that it's very swords & sorcery but I missed the books when they were in print. Also, Hallowed Oracle but I know very little about it.

Re: Half-Elf Empathy bonus
The way I see it is, the half-elf is only getting two primes, so you may as well give them the +2 to those charisma saves.

Re: The C&C rule(s) you dislike or ignore...
I'm not sure what you guys are arguing about, is it that the racial modifiers to attributes should be removed or kept?

Re: Hey There...
NICE, One thing I dislike about Aihrde is the fact they have what 4 or 5 separate cultural feels to the peoples there but only 1 set of deities and the deities don't match the cultures, so I've always kicked around the idea of adding other pantheons. However, I never thought of using the codexes as...

Re: How do you handle multi-classing?
How do you handle the fighter/wizard class and a half? I've seen that one combination can cast spell in armor, the other does not. Do you follow this indication? If not, there are problems? Perhaps it's only if fighter is your half class and not your full class that you cannot wear armor and cast s...

Re: How do you handle multi-classing?
I don't allow multi-classing anymore. I like the simplicity and cleanness of one character, one class. You're one mean DM...:) I also only allow the 1st-3rd printings of the PHB at my table 8-) What changes does that entail? ...Or prevent, I suppose. The main difference is the barbarian class and t...

Re: So what world setting do you typically run C&C in?
I have, ran a lengthy online campaign set in Mystara here on the forums years ago.
I started it with the orange cover version of B3 Palace of the Silver Princess and went from there.
(Which is available for free at Vaults of Pandius btw)

Nothing wrong with that, the CK is supposed to have fun too! And if you aren't really happy with the setting you are using, you risk CK burnout or worse, a failed campaign.

Re: The C&C rule(s) you dislike or ignore...
Pardon me, but that's an awful lot of mental gymnastics to justify illusionist healing. The Trolls are clearly backtracking what the illusionist class represents after their changes. Another reason why I don't like the 4th printing of the PHB and beyond. I find the explanations in the CKG regarding ...

Re: The C&C rule(s) you dislike or ignore...
All party member know the illusionist can cast a healing spell – s o they know it’s just an illusion . In C&C that is irrelevant. Knowing doesn't help you save or not save. The spell in REALITY causes the wounds to heal. It isn't an illusion. :roll: "The illusionist version of the spell acts in the...

Re: The C&C rule(s) you dislike or ignore...
I think the issue with Illusionist and healing is in how you picture the illusionist and their associated powers. Are they a weak version of a magic user with powers that are simply glamor and tricks of the mind and fooling of ones senses Are they ones able to hide mask bend and change reality thro...

Re: Magic Battles
I fully agree INT is the obvious choice but then it becomes INT prime and level vs the other INT print and level plus some basic luck... would the more charismatic illusionist get an edge? or would the more WISe one have a bonus.... just trying to see a duel of two equals (aka two illusionist) have...

Re: So what's your favorite printing of the Players Handbook?
I like the 3rd printing the best, both for its layout and physical qualities as well as a culmination of the first two printings before the changes we would later see in the 4th printing and beyond.

Re: The error that changed the face of Dungeons & Dragons...
I think Slimy is on to something, reading my copy of Basic Set Dungeons & Dragons (Holmes edit, 1977) it states: CLERICAL SPELLS Clerics of the first level can not cast any spells. When they reach the second level, however, they are capable of one spell per game/day. Since clerical spells are divine...

Re: The Rogue and the Mace
So it would appear that the latest printing has it wrong then.
