What about Rule 1?

I have the Kenzer Kalamar screen and it is rather funky (and sturdy). I would like a CK specific screen though. Any news?

<t>My name 'Babbage' should be fairly obvious. But if not, Charles Babbage was the inventor of the Analytical Engine and Difference Engine - both forerunners of the modern computer. I'm a programmer by trade and it's the name (in various forms) I've been using for years.<br/> <br/> The avatar is a c...

<t>Well, the time is nearly upon me. This coming thursday at 8.30pm I shall commence CK'ing my new campaign. I am a long-standing DM of ooh-too-many years but this will be my first attempt at CK'ing (or even playing) C&C.<br/> <br/> The party will be doing Temple of Elemental Evil and it will co...

<t>In my campaign there are no iconic bad guys. Bad guys range from priests of evil deities, tyrannical barons, overbearing thugs and so on. The closest I have for an all-out 'bad' race are the gargun (or Hrnic orc), but these are almost mindless thugs that swarm over the land from time to time.<br/...

<t>You could of course allow a choice of prime for the ranger - say one of str, dex, wis. That way, the player is deciding what style of ranger he wants to play.<br/> <br/> It is true though, that practice over time will always win out over natural ability and no practice.<br/> _________________<br/...

<t>Welcome to the crusade!

<t>[off topic]I had the original with all the expansions then I lent it to a friend who lost it. But then I bought all the stuff again through ebay. I scanned all the images into my computers (cards, boards, counters, etc) and wrote a computer version of it using all the scans. It was primarily used...

<t>This is what I prefer about old school and C&C. There are similar abilities but no one-size-fits-all like 3.5e uses. It doesn't make sense that everything regenerates at the same rate - either in this world or the fantasy one.<br/> _________________<br/> They that can give up essential libert...

I can't find anything regarding reducing EV for magical armour either [just checked] but it makes sense to do so.

<t>Training is part of the explanation, and would certainly be an explanation for the more complex armours. However, I myself have no training in such things but was able to don a chain shirt with no problem.<br/> <br/> The 'Faraday' cage does not mean you have to apply real-world physics. It's just...

That sounds good to me.

<t>The problem with that though is that you can dig copper out of the ground. More importantly though, mithril is a natural resource as well. If you had armour made out of them, then your reasoning says it would be okay - which it certainly wouldn't be in my campaign! 8)<br/> <br/> Also, 'magic can ...

<t>There is also the age old question of wizards not being able to cast in armour. If metal interfered with magic, how come a wizard can use metal objects? The best explanation I found was in HARP. Essentially, the wizard acts as a conduit for his magic. Wearing armour wraps himself in a sort of Far...

<t>I don't have my books with me so can someone remind me what the mechanism is for learning spells? For a wizard, that is.

<t>That's a very good PDF, naturaltwenty. I shall adopt some of that.<br/> <br/> I had a problem in my campaign. It is based in Hrn, and Hrn has magic divided into convocations. They are Lyahvi (Air), Savorya (Mind), Jmorvi (Artifice), Odivshe (Water), Peleahn (Fire) and Fyvria (Earth). There is a n...

This all reminds me of those Bell Curve diagrams in the original 1e DMG.
