<t>The main trouble i see with this systems way of showing that magic is a "difficult art to master" is that it makes being a low level spell caster pure suffering. You have made them less useful at low levels because you want it to "balance" with them being so powerful later on. But it means that t...

My new CK has us roll 2 dice, and take the highest for our HP.

Doesn't always work out. But it gives you a chance.

C&C Economy

<t>I'm a math minded person, so i couldn't help but wonder what approximate pay scales were for commoners, tradesmen, and soldiers.<br/> <br/> I know D&D 3.5 had a table in the equipment section detailing the cost of hiring a tradesman of a specific sort. But does C&C have one?<br/> <br/> Th...

<t>Lord Dynel Oh i have played with people who power-build, Muchkinize, finagle the rules, and wheedle the DM. And while that may unbalance the party. A good player doesn't need good stats and a bad player can be taken down even with the best stats.<br/> <br/> Overpowered wizards don't survive long ...

<t>Even before i realize that you shouldn't be comparing classes by their ability to kill each other, i never found the Wizard overpowered. I mean it was a matter of timing. Everyone would always assume if it was a Fighter vs Wizard battle that the wizard would have all these amazing spells up and r...

<t>Haha, i don't know about ALL spells having a reverse. But tweaking spells on the fly sound like an exciting idea... though possibly very dangerous. Tastes a bit like wild magic. And we all know how that goes <br/> It's just that some spells sound like that would have a reverse just by nature. Mos...

Reversible Spells

<t>My book doesn't arrive in the mail for another few days and this question has been bugging me (not to mention i don't know if it's made clear in the book):<br/> <br/> Does the reverse of a spell have to be memorized independently, or can a spell that is reversible be cast as it's reverse on the f...
