Troll Lord Games

I may not have been very clear. I meant the CC = my CB most of the time. There was no CL added to the CC most of the time, i.e., most rolls had a CL of 0. Oh, okay. I understand. Well, at 1st level most of the CL's would be in the 1 range anyway. That is only 5% harder than a CL of 0... Indeed. Jam...

We discussed something similar to this awhile back. A relayed a friend's comments from a Facebook discussion. He owns C&C 4th printing, but has only played 1 or 2 sessions. Here's the link http://trolllord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11468 Thanks, Tyler - that was very interesting and he...

Over the summer, I was playing a thief in a Wilderlands C&C game that James Mishler was CKing. I'd say most of my class ability siege checks - listening at doors, checking for traps, etc. - were based on my Dex prime CB of 12. Of course, James may have been taking it easy on me because I was st...

Also, consider making skill rolls a "simple" check of a straight Siege roll with no CL modifier when necessary. I just started to realize the importance of this now. After playing 3e so much, I'm in the habit of always assigning a modifier for checks. Then I realized that the SIEGE roll i...

Good point, I forgot that. (It's been 25 years since I last played D&D - when did I get so old! ). That applied to picking pockets, hiding in shadows, and moving silently, yes? But not locks, traps, etc.?

I think Ranger-Assassin could make for a good "bounty hunter" combo. That would be cool, except I'm leaning toward a good alignment requirement for rangers - otherwise, some of their class abilities seem weird to me, especially the combat bonuses against humanoids. Of course, I could remo...

Thanks for the feedback (so far - keep it coming!). Just to clarify, I'm not very familiar with any version of D&D except 1st ed. AD&D (and the Holmes boxed set I had before that), so I hope it's not a matter of me simply making unfair comparisons. On the other hand, I do play / GM Savage Wo...

I'm sure this has been discussed over the years, but I'm relatively new around here, so I'd appreciate some feedback if you're so inclined. As I dig into new games, I tend to come across things that bug me a bit, and hearing from other gamers who are more experienced with the game helps alleviate my...

Good show. It prompted some of my coworkers to badger me into running a zombie campaign with Savage Worlds.

For C&C, just a player so far, but gearing up for some CKing, hopefully.

For SW, always a GM.

Updated my chart to include a few things. Still pondering a couple of the other suggestions.

What about a barbarian-ranger? They both seem kinda outdoorsy ...

1) All errata fixed ... 2) A picture for every single creature that doesn't have a real world equivalent (e.g., humans, animals, giant animals). 3) Every OGL monster not already included, especially giant version of animals. Seriously, what classic low-level dungeon crawl is complete without without...

I would allow Fighter-Druid and Fighter-Druid, were it me. I was thinking Barbarian or Ranger were a better fit for Druid. On the other hand, fighter is such a straightforward class that it might fit with just about anything. I'll think on that a bit. I know this one's a stretch, and unless you hav...

Hmm, good point. I may just do that.

No Bard in your game? I like Class-and-a-half Bard/Druid Bard/Wizard Bard/Illusionist as solid options for people who want their Bard's to have more spell power. -Mike Oops, I should have put a note about that. [Edit: There it is now!] I left knight, paladin, and bard off the list, as I'm not incli...

Yes, having acid that is strong enough to kill a person by splashing is going to be SO dangerous to carry that it wouldn't be worth the trouble... "Let's see, you fall into the pit. You only take 2 points of falling damage, but that vial of highly corrosive acid you had in your pouch busted op...

M&T says that flaming swords do an extra 1d6 fire damage when striking a foe (2d6 is the foe is cold-based). That might be a good baseline for striking someone with a torch or the like as well.

Ya, that's weird. I'd prefer not to have to order accessories to get core rules ... Ah, well.

Liquid combat damage is listed on the portrait CK screen. Silly you for reading books! Type: Diameter/Damage/Save Acid: 5'/1d12/dex half Holy or Unholy Water: 2'/1d8/no save Burning oil: 10'/1d8/dex half EDIT: I checked the Landscape screens, and it's in there too. Is this info in the PHB or CKG an...

CKG has something about boiling oil on page 181 and flaming oil cask catapult ammo on 182.

I'm thinking about what multi-class / class-and-a-half combos I want to allow, assuming I ever get a chance actually to CK C&C ... I'm interested in feedback, questions, criticisms, and general discussion. First, a few things: 1) This is for a Greyhawk campaign, where I consider eclecticism the ...

If you're just using the PHB, then it is a useless hole in the rules. Even without the CKG, I might rule that attacks hit the character's head in certain situations, such as someone attacking from above. In those cases, I wouldn't even call that a called shot, just a regular attack roll against the...

Where's File 13?

Sounds good, will do.

So, has this thread become the place to post errata, or should we collate them in a new thread somewhere?

Manga art is just fine if it's appropriate to the game - e.g., Exalted - but it definitely doesn't put me in mind of D&D, that's for sure.
