<r>Alright, this time I think I have it figured out. And I will use the same technique the trolls did to figure out monster xp to figure out the level of monsters you should be fighting.<br/> <br/> First, it doesn't need to be based on the character's XP. That is too rules heavy anyway. Instead, the...

<r>Okay, I've been playing with this a bit more, and realized 2 reasons why the system I came up with is not viable: <br/> <br/> 1. 1st level characters begining with 0 xp would not work with it.<br/> <br/> 2. each encounter gets harder, regardless of whether the PCs level or not!<br/> <br/> So inst...

<r>Just a stab in the dark here--<br/> <br/> Figure out the ave. XP of the monsters in question.<br/> <br/> Figure out the XP the PCs have earned so far. <br/> <br/> A very easy fight = 1/40th party XP<br/> <br/> An good fight = 1/20th party XP<br/> <br/> I'd say that a great challenge = 1/10th the ...

<r>So, I am not a fan of 4e D&D-- but it isn't hate of the rules, it is the marketing. I actually like some of the ideas about spells working / encounter or even at will-- but I refuse to buy 4e. So I came up with a very easy & fair (I think) way to do it with C&C! <br/> <br/> Note-- thi...

<r>My idea for a Magic Points system: <br/> <br/> 2 your new level is added. So Level 1 gets 2mp.<br/> <br/> Level 2 has 6mp. <br/> <br/> Level 3 has 12mp, <br/> <br/> Level 4 has 20mp, <br/> <br/> Level 5 has 30mp<br/> <br/> Level 10 has 110 mp<br/> <br/> Level 15 has 256 mp<br/> <br/> Level 20 has...

Level 36. The ultimate one-shot because then you cannot get any higher afterwards!

<r>Welcome to the Crusade. I actually ran a playtest of 4e w/ the pregens & monsters they've shown, and it was fun-- but in the same way as Magic the Gathering, or WoW, or a boardgame is fun. There was absolutely no sense of "suspension of disbelief" we all were playing in the mode that this was...

<r>Really? I think C&C fighters rock! I'd certainly much rather be a fighter than the much weaker, but for some reason more expensive to level barbarian! <br/> <br/> Any other class I play would probably be a split class w/ fighter! (Fighter/Rogue, Fighter/Wizard, Fighter/Cleric, etc)<br/> _____...

I don't know if the RC Weapons Mastery rules appeared anywhere else. That was my favorite part of the book!

<r>Sounds workable to me-- but the ammount should be small-- like 50xp per convert, to a max of 5 x Level / level. So a 1st level PC could not get more than 250 xp for converts, a 2nd level PC max of 500, a 3rd level PC max of 750 xp, etc.<br/> <br/> Now, my main issue with this is-- what are the ot...

<r>I'd make a new class:<br/> <br/> HD: d12<br/> <br/> Prime: CON<br/> <br/> BtH: +1 / level starting at level 2<br/> <br/> Class Abilities:<br/> <br/> Berserker Rage: Lasts 4 rounds. +2 Hit, +4 damage, +10 Max HP for the duration. Afterwards -2 to all d20 rolls and damage rolls for 10 minutes. When...

<r>Step 1: Set conversion rates. None of this 10gp to 1sp stuff. Gold is worth a lot more than that-- especially in a medieval world. I would set the exchange rate at 50:1. <br/> <br/> Step 2: Change all prices to SP-- (but just 10x the listed GP price). So a sword that was 7gp is now 70SP in cost (...

<r>Well in BD&D for years, we all had very individualized characters. <br/> <br/> 1. We used weapon mastery rules<br/> <br/> 2. We used the skill proficiencies option<br/> <br/> 3. We used GURPS advantages & disadvantages! Essentially the list was taylored so that it could not step on the to...

Why is that funny? I really did do the conversions for Goodman!

<r>Hello, my name is Chris Rutkowsky and I did the conversion of the Mysterious Tower from d20 to Castles and Crusades, and wrote an original module for C&C for Goodman Games.<br/> <br/> Joe forwarded me an email in which a person wanted a guideline for converting a certain module (Crypt of the ...

3d6, and the lowest die is automatically changed to a "6". So if you got a 1,3,5, you'd have a total of 14.

<r>Well, I think halflings should get +1 to hit w/ all ranged weapons (not just thrown) because that is how it was done in RCD&D (and I loved my halfling archer). Also they are supposed to get an intiative bonus (maybe roll 2d10 keep the better result?)<br/> <br/> I too, would like to see what y...

<r>I had read in the post of another member here that the Crusader will begin having articles & information regarding other rpgs, just like Dragon did back in the day (and maybe even articles on computer games, etc).
