Troll Lord Games

Also expanded up on Mobile Caster just a bit.... Mobile Caster Prerequisite: Ability to case 3rd level spells Benefit: You may move five feet before casting a spell. If you decide to move more than 5, you may move up to ½ your move value, but must make a concentration check at the end or not be able...

I think both of those are nice enough, if a bit power creepy. Which, if you're cool with power creep, I might suggest something like the following. It will make your rogues more versatile, their damage output less swingy and won't keep piling on effects to an ability that is already somewhat mechan...

Thanks for the replies Mbeacom. I will definately take those into consideration. Let me share another tweak I'm playing around with. I use advantages that basically grant a +1 to saves useing ( fill in the attribute...str, dex, wis, whatever ). But no one takes 'em. I asked the group and they flat o...

Oh, and while I'm on the topic of new Advantages, I have one in my game called "Stealthy". It grants a +1 to all hide and move silents checks. Is +1 a decent enough bonus for this type of advantage? I know how much 1 point can have an effect on the game, so I'm hesitant to change that to +...

I've got a couple of ideas for new Advantages to add to my game. Just trying to add a little more variety to the list. How do these sound to you... Cutthroat Prerequisite: Back Stab, Base Attack +2 Benefit: Your Backstab attacks cause an additional 1d4 damage Normal: Backstab grants a flat multiplie...

Thanks for the feedback all. Some great options to consider as I work through this concept.

Whether or not they are "too powerful" will depend on who gets to use them. If it's a high dex rogue looking for a reason to TWF, then yeah, they may seem too powerful since they're essentially a custom item. If they're used by a PC who normally carries a shield, which he'll have to drop ...

Now would you allow a rogue to use two weapons at the same time for the back attack ... Not a chance. Hmmm...if you are using all the penalties as normal for two-weapon combat, why not? A rogues back attack bonus is for a very carefully aimed attack. Once you 1st hit someone, he/she/it is going to ...

Hmmm...was just looking at the dual wield description and it says... The attack with the primary hand is at -3 and the attack with the off hand is at -6. These penalties are affected by the character’s dexterity modifier. The character’s strength modifier only applies to damage inflicted. So, you do...

Those would be coveted daggers indeed. Here is something I have learned about this game, Lobo. We worry a lot about throwing down stuff that is "too powerful" but in actuality c&c is a pretty hard game. If you throw a monster at your pc's that is of the same hd (assuming hd is a good ...

So I'm trying to think up a "unique" magic item for my game, and what I'm working on is a pair of enchanted daggers. So far, I have them being +1 daggers, but when they are dual wielded, they become +2 daggers. Additionally, when weilded together, a successful hit by one, allows an immedia...

Not saying I disgree with Arduin, I'm just curious as to why not? If a rogue has a pair of daggers and drives the...

If your son like Pirates, check out the link in my Sig!

Nice! Pretty neat that!

Yea, that's a sticky topic. I think I may actually adopt what snoring rock has... I give them maximum damage, including any kind of weapon and strength bonus, and then allow the player to roll the damage die and add that. So if it was a +2 dagger and they had a strength bonus of +1, the damage woul...

I got done with one for my new C&C campaign. Let me know what you think. http://www.saathoffauction.com/peelseel2/CC_Character_Sheet_v1.093013 That's pretty nice Peel! I've got a 10 year old son who has several friends around his age I was considering introducing to some classic RP Gaming, and ...

I'm assuming everyone here adds any bonus for strength AFTER doubling? I do. Hmmm...while were on the subject, do you add magic bonuses AFTER doubling (tripling, etc) as well? In 3.X I added before. But, in C&C I add them after due to the overall lower power level of the game. So the formula I ...

Wouldn't a Con of 13, modified by the Amulet, make his Con 15? That bumps him into the next bracket/attribute adjustment.

No. See table in PHB. 13-15 is a +1.

OK, thinking on this some more, I don't think I've really considered how we do backstab damage when it comes to bonuses. Example...There is a rogue in the party with a +1 dagger (giants bane, +3 vs giants). To break down his maximum damage, see the following... (not including strength, which would b...

You know, I may put it to a vote and see what the players like. I'm good either way. I think the "more dice" method may actually work more in thier favor. I mean, you roll low on a "x2" and you're doing "low" overall damage. With more dice, more chance of the average co...

Yea, I was looking at that table actually. We had a player last game get a +2 amulet of health, but since his CON was 13, it didn't help him at all. Got me thinking about using a different table to allow for a little more flexibility in ranger. Isn't the other table (gain, don't have my CKG) but is...

I like it, now no showing this to Seskis, his death knights are enough "fun" lol I removed the grabbed victim being at "disadvantage" and gave advantage to the nalu instead. This lightens up the penalty a bit because now they'll suffer -2 to hit from the fear effect. Heck, if th...

Glad you like Relaxo, and check it out, I updated this creature a bit more, this time incorporating the Fear effect that Dracyian was suggesting. Always a work in progress, but think I'm getting to a "happy place" with this creation now... NALU No. ENCOUNTERED: 1 SIZE: L HD: 6 (d10) Moveme...

Arduin wrote:It says that a hit Doubles the normal damage. I take that as X2 the weapon damage roll. (similar to how it was done in AD&D).

YMMV

Yea, that's what we did. Thanks! Anyone do it to where you just roll extra dice?

When the Rogue description states the damage on the back attack is "doubled" are you supposed to roll the damage twice? Or do you double the result of a single dice? Same question when you get to triple and quead, etc. Do you roll one die and multiple it X 2, 3 or 4....or do you roll that ...
