Sorting by level was sooooooo much easier. I think the reason they dropped this is Spell Overlap (a ...

<t>Ok,<br/> <br/> I still like the idea that Specialization gives you 3 attacks every 2 rounds and that Warriors gain more attacks as they level up.<br/> <br/> I'm going with 2E AD&D here so warriors (Fighters, Rangers, Paladins) gain this attack progression:<br/> <br/> Level #Attacks/Round<br/>...

<t>Yes, amazon reviews are VERY helpful. People need to take the time to write them (even if simple) because it causes things to be noticed.<br/> _________________<br/> "If everyone was drunker, was beer cheaper?

<t>I was looking through my notes from previous forum posts and I believe Serleran (or someone who helped write M&T) mentioned that in C&C, monsters are worth 1/3 their AD&D counter parts.<br/> <br/> So, it might be worth just giving 300% for monster kills sans treasure.<br/> ___________...

gideon_thorne wrote: Well, all you have to do is scroll down to the bottom of the forum to find out. We're hitting pretty close to 1200. Last I looked it was 1146. That's a pretty decent number. Especially since NO ONE I know, and No One I talk to at FLGSs are forum goers... _________________ "...

<t>As I read this thread, and reading about how "this class should be good at this" and "this class should be able for this".... One thing stuck out at me. EVERY class should have a "perception" modifier if you plan to do any rolling for perception style checks. It's the SIEGE engine right? It works...

<t>I don't think I like the "big hit thing". It seems counter productive to characters that are not big hitters and spend most of their timing being ingenious rather than coming up with bigger and better ways to deal damage. But I can see this type of XP award working great in a HackMaster campaign ...

<t>I asked how many people are registered on the forum because I'm sure that could be extrapolated out to a number (though it will never be accurate).<br/> <br/> i.e. 10% of RPG's are forum goers.<br/> _________________<br/> "If everyone was drunker, was beer cheaper?

serleran wrote: Steve does. I guesstimate, counting the Spartan 300 (all sold) and around 2k 1st print PHBs, with around 2500 2nd print PHBs, and likely 3000 3rd print PHBs (and not counting any special edition leatherettes or additional non-Spartan 300) that there is something like 7-8k PHBs out t...

<t>Jonathan,<br/> <br/> I use something similar to all that in my campaigns, but I will leave the details for another day as I'm still in the beta stage of it.<br/> <br/> If you don't want to use treasure XP (I never do) then "story XP" can have a formula.<br/> <br/> Try some different combinations ...

Moorcrys wrote: I look to the 2e wizard's and priest's spell compendium for C&C. You have to spread the 7 levels of priest spells over 9 levels, or simply replace the druid and cleric spell progression in C&C with the 1st edition ad&d progression (which is what I do, but definitely not ...

<t>Ok,<br/> <br/> I'm curious. I can't by just browsing the forums see how prevalent C&C is. I don't know anyone in my area who has ever played or heard of C&C unless I told them about it.<br/> <br/> Does anyone know how many C&C PHB's have been sold to date?<br/> <br/> Cheers<br/> _____...

<t>I think I lean more to the AD&D 2E progression (correct me if I'm wrong but it should look like this):<br/> <br/> (Start at +0 except the Fighter at +1)<br/> <br/> Warriors <br/> <br/> +1 per level (+20 at 20th level, or +19 for C&C non-fighter)<br/> <br/> Priests<br/> <br/> +2 every 3 Le...

<t>I like the idea that Attack bonus is one half Damage bonus for strength. I find it balances high strength a lot more, especially when there is not HUGE bonuses like 3.x has to everything. The 2E ad&d chart for strength worked great, at 25 you had +7 Att/+14 Damage.<br/> _________________<br/>...

Rigon wrote: I'd have to say my favorite is AD&D 2e. It's the system that I played the most when I first started to play and I have very fond memories of playing it. But C&C is starting to catch up. R- +1 I feel exactly the same about my 2E days... I'm seriously tempted to make a few SIEGE ...

<t>Well, I've always loved gnomes. I used to play only in FR games (1st and 2nd edition). I always found gnomes were very much life little dwarves that lived in the forested hills. But I just always loved them. I think the only thing they really had going for them was their Illusionist specialties, ...

ssfsx17 wrote: I've got just one question: Why did you bring back percentages? I would say percentages are fine - you can't emulate percentages with a d20 - it's just not possible.

DangerDwarf wrote: I wouldn't be prone to allowing it either. Even if I did, I *might* go that way with the Paladin, but definitely not the ranger. I much prefer the C&C, no spells ranger who is more of a wilderness warrior and less of a sword swinging druid. Allowing him to use druidical items...
