Re: Weapon Bonuses inconsistent

Mike, first, thanks for responding. Don’t get me wrong, I love your supplement and that is why I picked it up at GenCon. It also explains why it is rather dog-eared. I use it religiously! And to that point, you are correct; the guide is for a specific time period. What is in the PHB however, should ...

Re: Weapon Bonuses inconsistent

I'd rather they simply just made a list of weapons, something like 60 total, with weights, EV, and damage. Some pictures would be helpful, but all the "other details" should be ignored within the PHB... that's what "sourcebooks" are for. Or, call them "expansions." Or ...

Weapon Bonuses inconsistent

Here is my big complaint of the day... Ok, I like rules light. That is what pulled me into C&C. I do not like "missing" rules however. Look at the list of weapons in PHB pg. 44. The Bec De Corbin receives a +2 vs. chain, plate and scale armors. But the Lucerne Hammer does not. This is ...

Re: Just got Classic Monsters

Sorry, did not intend to hijack the thread. I do not see any original Wilderlands (JG) stuff in there. Darn. Anyway, the Classic Monsters is a MUST HAVE in you monster library. Nice book, great ilustrations, well done mechanically. Got mine at GenCon this year.

Re: Just got Classic Monsters

Ooh, oh.....does the M&T of the Wilderlands contain monsters from the original setting like the winged apes? Or is it Wilderlands of high Adventure material? I would love to have the orginal stuff converted to C&C. If so, I will download it post haste!

Uh....so I have never seen the 1/2 (light---1/3 (heavy) rule anywhere. Where did that come from? I know AD&D was 1/2 for heavy. That brings up more questions, like, since they were historically used by untrained soldiers, they were simpler to use than a bow. Shouldnt they have a bonus to hit of ...

Re: More conversion on a deeper level

Good thinking. I love the different takes on this. I may do a bit of both. The city is well over 5000 years old and sits over an ancient dwarven city, which sits on top of ancient dragon-worshipping empire ruins. Then wiping anything out that just does not belong, makes sense.

Ok, so here is an interesting dilemma. We all like converting AD&D, Pathfinder, 3.x adventures and setting since there is such a plethora of goodies out there. You may get the CR and HD converted and even go as far as converting spells or at least changing them to what is RAW in C&C, but you...

Using 3e Spells in C&C

Ok, I figure I can get lots of views on this one. Does anyone use 3e spells in C&C? If so how do you convert them? Is it balanced? How do you do it in your game? Any guidance would be great.

So, I have this campaign set in the Wilderlands and as most of you know, very few cities were ever completed. So I have taken to filling in with my own or using published cities.

Can anyone tell me what they thing of the The Town of Kalas? I am thinking of getting it.

Re: What's a quick Fighter patch?

Good suggestion. Combat dominance is dependent upon the GM and what they may throw at the fighter. The Cleave Feat or the Cleave Advantage in the CKG would fill that gap.

I allow CKG advantage for those specifice classes/races.

Well put Sir Capatain Blood! I agree. I think the role playng opportunities in the game get lost if you give that kind of power away.

Re: What's a quick Fighter patch?
