<t>I use Green Ronin's system for backgrounds, since I run a campaign with almost exclusively human PCs: each background gives you access to a bunch of skill-like abilities, and your level is added to the checks. So a 10th level wizard with the Nomad background would add +10 to their ride checks. Ge...

<t>I've used domains in place of Turn Undead (mostly because I tend to run campaigns heavy on the human monster, so by default the cleric's special ability was rarely usable), and it has worked just fine.<br/> <br/> While off-topic for this thread, I've also been using the variant spell casting syst...

multiclass rules

<t>Well, I'll try and clarify my original point: I know there are lots of house-rules for MC, but I was referring to Castle Zagyg's, and whether or not I understood it correctly (I think I do, and think that they're unbalanced exactly as Grey Lord points out: more versatility and more power, with re...

Re: multiclass rules

moriarty777 wrote: Well, that's given me something to think about. I think the current rules as given in the CZ can work and but there is a couple of things that must be taken into account. Using your example: A fighter/wizard level 8/8 would have a BTH of +16. You see, like hitpoints which are det...

multiclass rules

<t>I did some quick analysis on the CZ multiclass rules, and started with a 10th-lvl fighter (502k exp); the same character as a fighter/wizard would be 8th-lvl/8th-lvl (251k/251k exp).
