Okay, I see what you mean. So what sort of damage would you apply to the slam attack?

Okay, so does the slam attack cause actual damage, or is that just how it delivers its Touch of Death? I'm figuring the latter since it is incorporeal.

<t>The ghost says it has a slam attack. (Don't ask, the guy just talks to me.) Yet I'm not seeing where a description of the slam attack is listed.<br/> <br/> Can someone point me in the right direction?<br/> <br/> (Sorry to be asking so many questions of late.) <br/> _________________<br/> Trampas ...

Since I don't use primes (I know, I'm evil ), I can split the middle and make it 15 + caster level. Thanks for the helping hand. _________________ Trampa...

<t>I'm confused on saving throws for spells. According to page 50 in the C&C PHB, the save is equal to the caster's level.<br/> <br/> That seems odd to me. The save vs. a 1st-level spell casted by a 1st-level mage is a 1. If you figure that a roll of 1 is always a fumble, then a roll of 2 or bet...

Does Monte Cook's variant bard work well with the C&C rules?

<t>What do you guys think of this article?<br/> Roleplaying and Switch Encounters<br/> <br/> I dunno. I can't tell if I like it because it talks about role-playing, or if I don't like it since it makes even that sound a bit scientific. <br/> _________________<br/> Trampas Whiteman<br/> ---DragonHelm...

<t>I don't necessarily disagree, my man. There's an old adage that you win friends with honey, not vinegar. I think that applies here. One's approach to Crusading (tm TLG ) may determine how many "converts" there are out there.<br/> <br/> For example, let's say we go to EN World. If you go in and te...

<t>I see where the guy is coming from, but the article is testament that rules take precedent over role-playing in WotCs eyes.

Hey, guys, I've converted a spell from the Dragonlance Campaign Setting, and I wanted to make sure I was doing this right.

Does C&C not have schools of magic? I just noticed that I didn't see any.

If so, why is that?

<t>I like new classes and new options. <br/> <br/> You might consider something along the lines of substitution levels (swapping out one class ability for another) to customize some existing classes as well.<br/> <br/> Just make sure that the theme warrants a new class. If an existing class can work...

I'm of a mixed mind on it. On the one hand, I can see ability scores improving with training. On the other hand, that's what primes are for, and it becomes more math for the game. serleran wrote: That's a 3.X rule. C&C doesn't do it. Not recommended, either, from me.
