Troll Lord Games

Good idea, Very good job of adding flavor to the class, without any major changes.

Tough call, I'd have to go with orc, with everything else being a close second.

I really don't have a superstition when it comes to dice, I usually just pick up some out of the box and roll them. (If my rolls are bad I may switch for other dice after a while, but thats about it.)

I don't know about btb, but I liked the 3E way of handling it, -4 to hit, when shooting into melee, if you miss you miss. No chance of hitting an ally or another target, fast and simple.

In our psuedo-Erde campaign, I allowed the druid (whose patron was Daladon) to use a two-handed sword.

Unless the campaign is very trap heavy, I think most groups can survive without a rogue. (IMC only clerics or druids seem to be considered a must have class)

Sounds like good family time. You have a real clever group of role-players on your hands there.

At least your bookshelves can be thankful that the C&C rulebooks are about 1/2 the size of their 3E counterparts.

I agree, the module looks good, now I'll try to find a way to work this into my next campaign.
