Traveller wrote: mmtbb, Not to be too much of an ass, but the problem I believe you're having is that you are expecting C&C to emulate Dungeons & Dragons much more closely than it in fact does. This expectation is a normal one, given that Dungeons & Dragons is by far the most popular ro...

Ok.

ps. I suppose there IS an official C&C items saving throw table, or rule somewhere? Did this get released?

I guess that's one way to handle it. Should be quicker at least.

And what about slashing damage? There should be a column for this.

<t>I was looking through the book, and on the treads, but I couldn't find a good answer.<br/> <br/> in some d&d editions items have hitpoints and hardness. For instance, a solid oak door would have, say 30 hp. Once your damage totaled the hp, the item would break.<br/> <br/> Are there rules like...

<t>*Sigh* Ok, ok. I guess I'll post my analysis here and be done with it (not that it will make the difference I would hope it would). Thank you guys for being patient. This post is a long one.<br/> <br/> here is what I found. I really feel that if read carefully, it is very justifiable:<br/> <br/> ...

<t>I have bought the Player's handbook so far. I have a good chunk of change to buy more C&C books IF this is the right fit for me. I don't want anyone to get in trouble for divulging info they shouldn't, but in this case I really need a good behind-the-scenes explanation. If Davis is the only o...

thanks for the info

gideon_thorne,

Are you one of the writers who wrote C&C?

<t>Lord Dynel,<br/> <br/> Yes, all of that makes sense. That wasn't what I was saying. I mean in this strange case it actually costs LESS (HALF to be exact) xps to make it to the NEXT level than the one before. It cost 250,000 to make it to 11th, it costs 500,000 to make it to 12th, THEN only 250,00...

<t>I would have posted this in the errata for the 3rd print, but I want to make sure it isn't actually the rule first. Under the monk progression chart from level 11-12 there is a whopping 500,000 xp difference. Then to get to level 13 it drops to 250,000. I am assuming that it is supposed to be 750...

serleran wrote: That is a C&C monk to 10th level -- not an AD&D or d20 one, which is what you implied earlier. Though, maybe I misread the intent there. I will say I have not played a C&C monk. I find the class unappealing, for many reasons. Was tempted once to play a halfling monk, tho...

serleran wrote: They get that at 6th as I recall, so, yeah, a 10th level monk would have it, but its not like they have to wait for it. Don't remember, though, since I've not played a monk to that level yet (or wanted to.) Umm, hello? Read your last sentence. You know, everyone else that has posted...

gideon_thorne,

on a side note, your Avatar makes me laugh. My wife is in Anne Get Your Gun right now and that song gets stuck in my head.

<t>"*chuckles* I expect Serleran, as are most folks here, are more than familiar with the AD&D and 3.5 D&D monk."<br/> <br/> Not if you haven't play them that much, as he mentioned he didn't i.e. I don't know the druid that well, though I have played for a while. I just don't play them.<br/>...

<t>Serleran,<br/> <br/> 1) So you are saying monks DO get new abilities after 12th in the new book coming out?<br/> <br/> What peeked my interest in C&C was that it was partially based on AD&D and d20. You have mentioned briefly that you have not played the monk extensively (or want to). Sin...

<t>Double Rats!! I had no way of see what the C&C monk was like and so I just had to buy the PHB to find out. Now, after reading about the monk, I am a little let down. I REALLY wish I could have seen the book before I bought it.<br/> <br/> I come from 1st ed. AD&D and 3.x D&D, so I can ...

just bought it

Rats, I really need to see this before I buy.

<t>I have been very frustrated with D&D 4e for the ommision of the monk character class. In searching I stumbled upon C&C. However, before I spend money on the product, I need to know about the monk class. Is there a preview or except I can read that goes over the monk and its abilities? Thi...
