Depending on the result, different effects occur. 4 = twice max damage 3= max damage and an half 2= max damage 1= au...

Quote: I would give the player an option over 15' if he wants to charge or not. If he wants to move that 23' and atack in the same round, he has to charge...or he can move 23' and wait till next round. i was thinking (maybe) to give him, if the player attack at 23', the same penalities of charging,...

serleran wrote: Some special bows, always of the expert variety, can be constructed to allow a character to a Strength bonus to obtain said bonus when attacking with a bow; it can be either to hit, to damage, or both -- personally, I would make the costs very different for each, likely doubling/tri...

Quote: so the movement of 20 feet plus an attack would be considered a charge action, all penalties apply. You end up with leftover footage from the charge is all. Humm i disagree with this interpretation of the rule (i don't say that i'll don't do that, or that is not logic to me). The way i under...

serleran wrote: This means if half your movement is 30 feet, you can move 1, 2, 5, 11, 13, 22, 27 or even 30 feet... as long as it is less than or equal to half normal rate. Exact, but if 30 feet is normal rate, 15 is half, and in this case, the minimum for charging is 30 feet. So, we still have a ...

<t>I know I already asked a similar question, but I want more information about it. Its all about the movement. <br/> <br/> If I understand it clearly, we can walk, jog or running during a full movement. But, if we want to attack, we can only walk half the movement rate (15 feet for human, for insta...

Quote:
Where the longbow comes into its own is in open ground, its superior range potentially dropping an enemy before they can get close enough to respond

Ya but longbow has a lesser range than heavy crossbow

ok !

I thing i'll let it like that, for now, and if i see that a character comes to good, i'll make some adjustment

But it makes that most of character will use crossbow! They have no reason (exept role playing, of course) to buy composite bow ...

The reason why I do ...

<t>Hi, <br/> <br/> I just want to know how you deal with ranged combat. <br/> <br/> First, do you give strength bonus with bows? In my case, I generally give the bonus when the character is using composite bow but not when he's using normal bow. How you deal with this? <br/> <br/> Second, do you giv...

<t>Hi, <br/> <br/> I would like to know if you give boundary to the dexterity bonus that apply to AC according to the armor the character is using. For example, if a fighter is using a full plate and he has +2 to AC, do you let him have +10 to AC (+8 full plate and +2 dex) or do you limit the dexter...

I'd used the rule #4 in my own games. But we dropped it lately.

Basically came down to a lot of people suck at saving throws so we dont make them harder then they have to be.

Well, i'll see it later ! I still want to try it

<t>Well, for example, if you are a wizard and you cast a spell upon a creature and it has to roll a saving throw i want that this creature, if for example is a saving throw vs intelligence, has to beat a score equal to 12/18 + the wizard level + the intelligence modifier instead of 12/18 + the wizar...

Thanks a lot for your help !

You respond correctly to my questios !

<t>Hi, <br/> <br/> Because a lot of peoples do it, I have decided to show you my house rule. Of course it is not has well developed for two mains reasons. First, Ill just start playing C&C, and Ill do my first campaign very soon. Second, I like changes the rules less than I can in all RPG, inclu...

<t>Hi, i would like to have the real rule about a topic, to be able to alter the rule after. SO my questions are still about creating unusual item. So here we go!

Quote: Well, if nothing else the weapons guide done by Mike Stewart for C&C gives some extra variance to this issue, and may add enough to satisfy issues with it The problem is that, at the store of role playing game, at Montreal city, doesn't have it, even if they did one time, so i can't use ...

Dont worry if most of your players are picking certain weapons all the time. There is a certain cinematic appeal to all the good guys having common aspects in app...

<t>Question on errata of encumbrance :<br/> <br/> The EV for objects assumes that the character is carrying the object. Some objects are instead designed to be worn by the character (clothes, armor, etc.). As such, loadbearing items (such as backpacks, sack, chests, etc.) reduce the total EV of the ...

<t>Well, i never have play yet to C&C. I think the best way is to try it like this (well, i already to litte modification like with Bow see above and the size of weapon for the small creature) and after i could have a better idea. Maybe just not allowing some weapon at the beginning that seems t...

<t>Little bit in the same way that with those questions I asked, I just want to know how you deal with the Bow. Well, in my case, I think Ill give a bonus to damage equal to the strength when using a composite bow (long or short). Why? First, because it is not clearly says if it is a thrown or prope...

I just have another question that cames on! For more part of you, do you change the dammage of weapon or you let it like that
