Troll Lord Games

<r>Well, I do think it's great for beginners... perfect in fact. If I had no clue and was starting out, this box set would have been ideal. However, I think Serl is on to something. I wanted a whole whack of archetypes and not just a handful... same with the races. 1st Ed AD&D was like that and ...

<r>Moriarty. In my introduction, I briefly mentioned my fondness of Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty was his nemesis... the 'Napoleon of Crime'.<br/> <br/> (or if you've read or seen 'The Seven Percent Solution' his math professor perceived that way due to drug induced paranoia)<br/> <br/> Moriarty the ...

<r>My first set of the PHB and M&T, I got through amazon.ca and at the time they shipped within a 24 hour time frame. They were both discounted but I had to get something else in order to qualify for the free shipping. I opted not too and I still paid less than cover price!<br/> <br/> The best p...

<r>Seems pretty good!

<r>Hey Antonio,<br/> <br/> Ok... I was just making sure that I understood you correctly. Yes... I understand completely, but the point I was trying to make was just to equalize those little bumps you get on the occasional level because they are partly there as certain classes get new abilities.<br/>...

<r>I too like the Wisdom bonus for initiative... I might be tempted to stipulate on or the other though as opposed to both... but great none-the-less!<br/> <br/> Moriarty the Red<br/> _________________<br/> "You face Death itself in the form of... 1d4 Tarrasques!"<br/> <br/> Partner to Brave Halflin...

<r>Well hey... my actual name is Pat Bellavance, and I'm 31 and happily involved with a fine young lady who gladly puts up with my gaming hobbies. I've always been an acedemic at heart and enjoy history, philosophy, and mythology. I do some writing from time to time, and most recently I've been work...

<r>Personally, I've always liked the collection of short stories in the Martian Chronicles... favorite being 'Usher II'.<br/> <br/> Moriarty the Red<br/> _________________<br/> "You face Death itself in the form of... 1d4 Tarrasques!"<br/> <br/> Partner to Brave Halfling Publishing<br/> <URL url="ht...

<r>I use a d20 as opposed to the d10... player's roll individually but I roll the opponets as a group or groups depending on the scenario.<br/> <br/> I initially tried to do one roll for the party and one for the monsters but ran into a bit of chaos a couple of times (basically everybody also rolled...

<r>Shouldn't be a problem... there are certain CK's that use a 10 - 15 base instead of the 12 - 18 (if I understand your question correctly). I think the important point to keep in mind is ensuring that the changes are consistant with all aspects of the game.<br/> <br/> Moriarty the Red<br/> _______...

<r>So... just to get one point straight Antonio, the EPP table used is pretty much the highest of the classes the character chooses to multiclass in?<br/> <br/> A character who has just reached 5th level as a thief then decideds that he will become a fighter at 6th level -- he will need a total of 3...

<r>To add to the overwhelming response...<br/> <br/> The Player's Handbook 2nd Printing is definately the way to go. Don't get me wrong... the Box Set (I mention it only because Angelius did) is nice but I believe it also has fewer classes. The box set is purely nostalgic!<br/> <br/> Moriarty the Re...

<r>Certain campaigns I've played in the past used alignment more as a guideline or tool to help with playing the character. Nothing so strictly adhering of course... <br/> <br/> Within C&C you'd just have to consider a couple of spells and abilities... The Paladin is pretty specific in terms of ...

<r>I pretty much the -4 penalty... as an option. If the character (say the party assassin) is not so much concerned with his companions, they may fire without the penalty and... stand a chance to hit them or the intended target.<br/> <br/> But I pretty much cover modifiers into account otherwise.<br...

<r>There's a file on multiclassing on Dragonsfoot where basically someone bascially has racial classes modeled after some of the multiclass rules that have been kicked about.<br/> <br/> I'm not sure I'd use it... but I do agree that, in terms of the pure nostalgia, it can be tempting!<br/> <br/> Mor...

<r>A felt an odd shiver when I thought of 3.5 for a moment! <br/> Seriously, I like some of the others who already responded, pretty much use common sense mostly. The only circumstance I've encountered so far was a character who decided to charge through a group of opponents to get to an enemy spell...

<r>As mentioned... I also go with the races getting their racial as well as common. An Int bonus determines extra languages on top of that.<br/> <br/> However, I do occasionally acknowledge an imaginative background and recently granted a human character who was raised by gnomes the racial language ...

<r>For at least 3 rounds, the valiant character tried and tried again. His odds were good he just rolled so crappy!. Likewise, the rider tried and tried to score some sort of hit to try and injure *his* assailent but also with no luck!<br/> <br/> It was after that, a more 'direct' approach was attem...

<r>Wow... the never-ending thread! <br/> The latest suggested guideline is pretty cool (see previous post by csperkins1970). However, I wouldn't bother with a roll of any kind for something that is routine (unless the character in question was drunk or drugged for example). And since I still favor t...
