<t>i recently stumbled across this link which might be of use to you.<br/> _________________<br/> the voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book written in an indecipherable text. it is thought to have been written between 1450 and 1520. the author, script and language of the manuscript rem...

<t>i am new to castles and crusades as well and my reading makes me believe the rules are written as they are to allow one to customize and modify them. in an older thread i once read someone say something about "it is easier to add than to remove" and this game seems to have taken that as a staple ...

<t>my general rules interpretation comes to one basic thing: what is fun? would it be humorous or interesting to allow a sleep spell to temporarily assuage an elemental? yes, and it is a clever trick, so i would allow it. it does not greatly empower the spell since it is unlikely many elementals wou...

<t>if history is any indication, times of great economic stresses are also the times when great new advancements in entertainment are made, such as film, board games, and the like, both of which had enormous booms during the depression because, unlike in calmer, smoother times, people need something...

<t>it was produced by fast forward entertainment, ran by jim ward. i think it was recalled at one point for violation of the open gaming license and all remaining copies turned to pulp at the request of wizards of the coast. this makes it difficult, but not impossible, to find; i have no idea the pr...

<t>seeing as the player should very well know what ac bonus is being provided by his armor, a wraith should be able to bypass it. also, it is not difficult to determine what bonus, if any, a monster is getting from "armor" assuming they have armor. most that use it tend to mention the type involved ...

<t>oh, i did not see this one when i posted my own. i am sorry. yes, i agree with M, in that the classes are not directly internally consistent so it is rather difficult to make them such, without arbitrary assignment, which is what i did.<br/> _________________<br/> the voynich manuscript is a myst...

<t>will there be a society chat this friday night? i think i would like to take a quick gander at what happens there, if that is acceptable to the powers-that-were.<br/> _________________<br/> the voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book written in an indecipherable text. it is thought to...

<t>aside from the painfully obvious, has there ever been more known about the proposed rumors from ex-serleran?<br/> _________________<br/> the voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book written in an indecipherable text. it is thought to have been written between 1450 and 1520. the author,...

<t>i am not a particular fan of the faux docudrama but i am an extraordinary fan of horror and the zombie in general so i will probably see this though at a matine.<br/> _________________<br/> the voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book written in an indecipherable text. it is thought to...

<t>here is something recent:<br/> <br/> 1 devil food's cake (box recipe if you must) cut into two 8" rounds<br/> <br/> 2 large mint chocolate chip pudding (instant if you must)<br/> <br/> 6 large snicker bars, chopped<br/> <br/> 8 twix bars, chopped<br/> <br/> 8 kit kat bars, chopped<br/> <br/> 2 cu...

<t>i often wonder why castles and crusades would have a fairly elegant and detailed encumbrance system and then rely on an attribute check for weightlifting. maybe i missed it, but does not c&c have some sort of "lift formula?"<br/> _________________<br/> the voynich manuscript is a mysterious i...

<t>there have also been modules for haunted highlands, written by casey christofferson, and some yggsburgh expansion works, such as east mark folio and town expansion works produced recently as well not mentioning various lejendary adventure works like the hermit and they who watch.<br/> ___________...

<t>if used for races alone, i don't think it would be too much, but for classes, i am afraid it would break down quickly, primarily because of references to things which are non-existent in castles and crusades (priest spheres for one, weapon mastery and "proficiency slots" for another, and other ex...

<t>you can also use the advanced dungeons and dragons dmg or sg1: engineering dungeons and make your own "old-school" dungeons. as many of them as you want.<br/> _________________<br/> the voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book written in an indecipherable text. it is thought to have be...

<t>i do not allow some race and class combinations such as dwarf mage or half-orc paladin simply because these races are very different in the world of game play than presented in the castles and crusades player's handbook. there may be an equivalent, for that specific race, but it will be modified ...

<t>sound burst was his alarm. he didn't expect to roll high on the damage, but something more mediocre, like a 3 or 4 (i assume he assumed the bad guys would die, or be nearly dead after, and the party just slightly injured; or, he forgot it hit everyone in range) and that the party had higher HP to...

<t>i seem to remember reading that castles and crusades wanted to break from the paradigm of "attribute is important." it was managed by using the siege engine, where, while attribute prime matters, the actual score is of far less importance, reducing, in some small way, the tendency that comes with...

<t>is it not the case that some characters, regardless of level, will never be able to accomplish certain tasks? for example, a level 20 fighter can never "out-silence" even a level 1 rogue. this juxtaposes and reinforces the archetypes, and shows that, to someone a challenge is impossible (or nearl...

<t>remember that sound burst can easily affect the party members, so it is not as all-useful as it might seem. i recall an episode in a game i witnessed where the party were ambushed by some nasty greenskins, and the cleric had failed to be surprised, and cast sound burst on his action. it took out ...

<t>i would give 2 action points for each prime, and 1 for each non-prime. these action points may only be spent when performing some activity related to the attribute in question (that is, a save vs. instant-kill poison for constitution). use of the point results in automatic success but also lowers...

<t>cure moderate wounds shows up in player's option: spells and magic, so late 2nd edition. that is according to priest's spell compendium which lists original source along with its effects, so one could logically assume it did not show in any version of dungeons and dragons prior to the aforementio...

<t>the original author of the inferno product released by judges guild has a full manuscript, including all nine circles, which was going to be published using 3.5 dungeons and dragons. now, it is unknown what will happen to it. according to posts by that author, it is greatly expanded and detailed....

<t>i do not assign levels to non-player characters; i simply give them the abilities they need to have for the function they are to play in the game. if, for some odd reason, the players attack the character, i have an idea of what they're supposed to be capable of, and then wing the rest. i would r...

<t>i reduce damage die type by one category so a d6 becomes a d4. if the weapon does multiple dice, the multiples are retained. the lowest a weapon can be reduced to is 1d3, and some weapons are not modified (sling, for example). this assumes the weapon is going from bigger to smaller, starting at m...

<t>necromancer games contacted wizards of the coast prior to the release of "3.5" dungeons and dragons, obtaining permission to update several pieces of their ip in the book tome of horrors; it was given within certain restrictions. when 3.5 was released, wizards reneged on some aspects, claiming to...
