I'm also planning on getting them all together into a PDF one of these days.
I'll check them out. Links?

[M&T] Where are the demons, devils?

Finally received the Monsters & Treasure book. As I was browsing, noted no entries on demons and devils. Reason for admission? I know they're in the SRD.

Thanks!

The CKG is on sale now. Coolio. Are all three Core books available for purchase as a set? Class and a half refers to the rules of the same name presented in the last few pages of the 4th print players handbook. Sorry I missed your question about that earlier. I think I only have the 3rd printing :(

Re: Converting 4E D&D to C&C?

I find it pretty simple to display the awesomeness of being a PC... the majority of the world is one of two things: a monster or 0-level. Compared to that, the PCs have all kinds of neat abilities. Serleran, that's exactly what I do as well. Recently, I had the party attacked by twice their number ...

Re: Converting 4E D&D to C&C?

Also consider using class and a half to simulate some of the 4e classes. Again, if they arent at level 3 or above, I would consider dropping a level or 2 on them, especially if you add class and a half. I find that Class and a half adds a very cool dimension to characters. When Mark Sandy had us pl...

Re: Converting 4E D&D to C&C?

I've done some integrating of C&C with 4e and 3.x with various ideas. The biggest things to transfer to C&C is to do away with the Powers (At-Will, daily, encounter) for most classes. Replace Wizard Spells with spells from C&C books, trying to keep them on a name to name basis as the sa...

Re: Converting 4E D&D to C&C?

My house rules would make it easier to convert, because any feat in 4E could be done using my SIEGE check rules covering a feat, which also allows for them to earn these as a character specific power. Can you post that houserule on using SIEGE checks to covering a feat/power, then earning it as a P...

Re: Converting 4E D&D to C&C?

I was thinking about C&C again and about adapting the things I like about 4e to C&C rules. And yet, I find the task to be a bit much. 4e has introduced a lot of new elements I like. I don't think the races would be that hard, but the classes would be. There is no psion, no avenger, and no w...
