Troll Lord Games

<t>For an example of how the classes are built, see the file called on my website (through my signature) on class deconstruction. I cannot provide you with all of the details since that is a part of the CKG and/or another book called Adventurer's Backpack, and is entirely up to Davis Chenault on how...

Page 25 of the AD&D PHB.

Just letting people know I've added a new file to my section of cncplayer. I hope its of some use. Its not about new rules or anything... so, if you're not interested in the "mundane," you might find it useless. Anyway, its just a brief (6 page) lexicon of some Celtic stuff.

I should clarify:

None of my AD&D products have needed to be pulled. I use them for inspiration with any game. However, I have pulled stuff from other game systems, notably TORG, RIFTS, and Chill.

The only figures I would consider would be Ghost Rider, Wolverine, and The Punisher (or as they were known: The Hearts of Darkness), and I assume of those, only Wolverine was made. Oh well.

<t>If undead summoning were possible, I would make it harmful to the caster, especially in the case of bringing forth those creatures with intelligence or near extraplanar qualities, like wraiths and ghosts. My reasoning is: undead are strictly tied to alternate planes, even the lowliest of skeleton...

<t>BtH - 6 = +1 attack, if one were inclined to do such, same as 3.X.<br/> <br/> Example, a 12th level Fighter has a BtH of 12, so 1 attack at +12, second at +6. Ignore the Extra Attack ability, since this would replace it, but, if you wanted to keep it, I would grant a third attack at the +6 adjust...

<t>It is also possible that the CK simply disallow any character who does not have a listed ability to try. For example, few classes have the Climb ability, so when presented with a 90 degree wall of ice with no rope or grapple device, and no handholds, the only classes able to try it would be those...

<t>I play:<br/> <br/> Declare actions (some cause delays automatically, like "if that Orc moves, I shoot him".)<br/> <br/> Roll 1d10.<br/> <br/> Highest resolves first.<br/> <br/> Ties are simultaneous actions, though the players resolve their actions first (that is, they roll their dice before I do...

I've no need to dust off books. Mine don't get that way.

So, is this a setting stolen from the DCCs, or a wholly new one? I might get it, but I need to know if its new stuff or just compiled.

<t>I'd have to read the sword description, to see exactly how it works, but I'm guessing:<br/> <br/> -1 Con saves / hit. Monsters do have Physical saves, of which one is Con-related. Its not as if they cannot suffer specific penalties (that is, the creature's ability to resist a constriction or para...

I would not allow a summoning spell for undead, as that eliminates the need for the spells that create them.

<t>I would say: run a campaign in the world that you 1) know best or 2) want to explore. If you've ran several in the same setting, you might be bored of it, but you will also be able to make it spring to life. The trick is to make it new to yourself, and not a rehash. Since I don't know what games ...

<t>I think it would be a good idea to put the Character Reference Sheets as a PDF. They are very helpful. However, I do wish the "combat maneuvers" had been listed on the back page rather than on the Fighter sheet, since any character can try them. Alas. Perhaps we can convince the Trolls to make a ...

Quote: I freely credit this theory to Serleran Thanks, Sieg. Sometimes I forget I had something to do with it. As for why I like C&C: The system is modular. Subsytems can be imported, altered, or wholly created and added, removed, or whatever else with little impact on the remainder of the game...

<t>Metamagic is easy:<br/> <br/> Alter Magic (Intelligence or Wisdom): Powerful spellcasters have the ability to alter their spells, whether it be area of effect, duration, or any other variable, including damage, turning an ordinary spell into a specific, single-use variety. Each variation has a di...

<t>I believe C&C is sword-and-sorcery / grim fantasy with a heavy emphasis on epic stories. Its not as S&S as say, Conan, but the seeming lower magic overall (emphasized by the treasure tables and the fact that there are fewer spellcasting classes in C&C than in AD&D), but I get that...

<t>Or, they can just wait and get what we sort-of worked out together... your healer class, and my herbal lore document. Until then, though, there's numerous ways to bypass costs, the easiest of which is to ignore them and make them what the CK wants. That's the glory of being the CK.... play and al...

Heh. Shouldn't be too terribly difficult to create Troll-like trolls.

<t>Actually, if one uses Domains of Dread as a resource for class changes and each individual Domain rules, especially such a thing as Necropolis (where players can be Undead characters), there is quite a bit to convert. Of course, my preference is to conversion of the Van Richten Monster Hunter Com...

<t>If you want people to have easier access, lower the prices, or reduce the item creation rules from where they are, to a lower level. Alternatively, you can drop in potions whenever you give out treasure rewards. If you want an extraordinarily high magic level, you could use the D&D rules exac...

You do have to register, which means I have to "ok" you.

Heh, I come to the forums to get away from writing for a while. Sometimes those little breaks are very needed. Course... I don't know why I come to C&C forums... hmmm. Maybe I should stop that?

They are very good with orders.

Hehe. I wish. Oh, wait.. you meant another kind of order.... oh, ok. I can let that pass.

Several modules were slated for the printer. Steve will make an announcement when he is back, and when they are available, but I imagine it will be soon. Other than that, some of us are busy plugging away at huge projects.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. Welcome to the Crusade!

<t>Let me just point you to another thread:<br/> Conversion<br/> <br/> As for magic items... there isn't much needed.
