<t>There is some truth that the even-numbered Treks are the best ones. That being said, I don't think the odd-numbered ones are necessarily bad.<br/> <br/> I've enjoyed all the Trek movies, though The Motion Picture is my least favorite, and V being next to that. I think of V as episode-quality, not...

Traits and Flaws in C&C?

I was wondering if anyone used any sort of trait/flaw system for C&C. I know Unearthed Arcana has some stuff that could be modified, but I was wondering what other options are out there.

Why do I doubt myself?

<t>If I have had any problem in life, it has been self-confidence. Thats plagued me all throughout life, though Ive gotten much better at it.

<t>I guess if I were to house-rule it, I'd say that bastard swords are 1d8 one-handed, and 1d10 two-handed.

Using D&D's spells instead of C&C's?

<t>Ive been giving some thoughts to spells in my game, and one of the obstacles Ive come across is that some of the spells the characters in my game used to have access to dont exist in C&C. Im also going to be porting in some of the domains for the sorcerers and mystics in my game, and Id hate ...

I gave this variant bard a try recently, and it worked out great. I might nix a couple of the "weave notes/chords" abilities, but otherwise it worked out great.
