<t>One of the best post I've ever read in this forum. The RPG that WOTC makes which they call D&D has a different audience to cater as well as a different approach to playing. I am wondering what's so good about having alot of rules and maths in an RPG. They say that it does help in roleplaying ...

Thats why I love saves in C&C the best.

I just simply love C&C... Actually I don't really like giving too many praise to the game designers, but its hard no to coz the SIEGE engine is just brilliant.

<t>Just had a second session. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Fighters get to cleave, great cleave actually.. I overlooked the 3.5 feat. Others get to jump across fire with the Siege engine and there was very much admiration for the engine in terms of freedom of action.<br/> <br/> The players are level...

I have an assassin player in the group. He is true neutral. I am having a slight problem dealing with him in terms of character profession though. How do you explain a heroic assassin that kills ppl for money and still save the day?

Had one of the best DMing session ever!!!

<t>I finally ran my 1st session using C&C. Three of the players were massive 3.5 fans but they love the way combat played out. No grids and they were practically doing anything they want during combat and it feels as if if wasn't combat at all, just pure roleplaying. There were two new players c...

Increasing advancement rate

<t>Ok, so I am going to DM my first C&C adventure with a bunch of d20 3.5 players. We will seldom meet up for sessions so I want to increase the rate of leveling up for the group. I am thinking of giving them a certain percentage of XP based on their level for good roleplaying. Anyone know how m...

Death Attack Saves

I just want to clarify if the death attack is based on CHA or CON? It seems there's a confusion between the two attributes..
