<t>I was thinking that this type of Cleric might be similar to a Wizard in terms of fighting ability, but even that shouldn't have stopped him from facing the very small number of quasi-undead that was the root of the trouble. A 6th level wizard has an increased BtH and there would have been no reas...

<t>I just ran an introductory adventure for the new group that revolved around some "Quasi-Ghouls" rooting around in the cemetary and dragging corpses into their lair for consumption. The village Expositor (Interpreter of the Gods, a Priest of the Pantheon with a leadership position) discovered the ...

I thought the EV only counted at the "standard" number for when the weapon was in a scabbard or sheath or carrier of some sort and when it is wielded, the EV drops by 1 point.

Greylord,

I should use your first paragraph in my sig at ENWorld and WOTC and see how much love I get.

You would have to clarify by adding "AD&D2e DMG" in there so they know exactly what you are talking about.

C&C is more dangerous then D&D is.

Of course, if you wanted to, there is every reason to provide a save when that spell is cast on PCs, NPCs or Monsters.

<t>The thing you have to be careful about is the slight difference between Illusionist and Wizard Spells.<br/> <br/> You don't want to overpower Wizards at the detriment of Illusionists and vice-versa.<br/> <br/> If you can strike a balance between what is available to both types of Arcane Spellcast...

In the Vampire Entry, it mentions Vampire Spawn and to (see below) for those statistics. Only, there aren't any statistcs for Vampire Spawn.

I haven't been able to locate any errata regarding the missing stats for Vampire Spawn as well.

I see a tie in initiative as a simultaneous action. This can cause times when a PC and an NPC/Monster may well strike eachother down at the same time.

I like the Archer class as well. Though, would the dex bonus stack with a strength bonus, or replace it?

You don't get a strength bonus to damage with bows. (Unless the CK makes a special type of bow available that requires a given strength to pull back.)

Very nifty, it could work well for a "off the cuff" session.

<r>Well...<br/> <br/> The site isn't yet complete (probably won't ever really be) however, there is enough to whet one's whistle with a bit of information, house rules, two new classes, which will be followed by others and information about various human people.<br/> <URL url="http://www.nelzie.net"...
