<t>where can I find Serleran's class deconstruction topic? I've searched for it and cannot find it on the TLG forums or on his site.<br/> <br/> thanks<br/> _________________<br/> later<br/> <br/> SSS<br/> <br/> ----------------------------<br/> <br/> "Size matters not."<br/> <br/> -Yoda, Jedi Master...

<t>Well your question was "is it fair?" So I voted no. It isn't fair.<br/> <br/> But it would be fun! In fact, if you give them enough clues that they have the opportunity to prepare for a combat, they may have a chance.<br/> <br/> My thing is that if dragons are so powerful, and live for such long ...

<t>something I would like to point out is the simple fact that Illusion is a different class than wizard. But when you compare the spell lists, abilities and level progression between the two, wizards are much more powerful...Unless...Illusions are adjucated by the CK to be as powerful as the game d...

<t>That's not a question. That is the beginning of a statement that ends with a short story... <br/> I'm a trainer who travels all over the country holding seminars on...nevermind...that's not important.<br/> <br/> When I travel, I like to visit local game stores in the evenings to try to get involv...

<t>I must say that you have done an amazing job, erc. All that data entry is what has kept me from finishing my sheet.<br/> <br/> A piece of advice...Protect cells that have formulas in them. It's amazing how easy it is for someone unfamiliar with C&C to crash a spreadsheet like this. Especially...

<t>do we get a free copy of the issue in which our letter was published? That would be a good incentive!<br/> <br/> btw, how do I go about getting copies of previous issues? I don't own a single one. <br/> _________________<br/> later<br/> <br/> SSS<br/> <br/> ----------------------------<br/> <br/>...

Apparently a few of you missed this: serleran wrote: I believe the class ability is meant to allow the illusionist to notice an illusion even when there is no call for it, that being based on Wisdom. For example, to ordinarily disbelieve, a character must have some sort of reason, some sort of "...

I'm in Sidney, about 45 min. north of Dayton. I think I'm pretty close to Westerville. Maybe I'll stop by...

<t>I've never ran The Beacon at Enon Tor, but it seems like it would fit well into a single "one shot" scenario.<br/> <br/> Sorry I don't know where to find it...<br/> _________________<br/> later<br/> <br/> SSS<br/> <br/> ----------------------------<br/> <br/> "Size matters not."<br/> <br/> -Yoda,...

<t>Haven't you ever wondered how a male in chain armor that completely covers him from head to toe can have the same armor class as a female in a chainmail bikini?<br/> <br/> I love chainmail bikini's. 8)<br/> _________________<br/> later<br/> <br/> SSS<br/> <br/> ----------------------------<br/> <...

<t>Fizz,<br/> <br/> The way the SEIGE engine works is through choosing primes. Any attempt to perform an action requires an ability check. The base for the ability check is 18. i.e. the player must roll an 18 including all bonuses. Where primes come into play is by reducing the base to 12 when check...

<t>WOW! What a response!<br/> <br/> I wasn't expecting this. There is a lot of useful information here! I think I may try to get Witterquick to allow some of this to our campaign.<br/> <br/> I also like the idea of a Badgerlord. Frankie's gonna LOVE that one! He can train the badger to dig a hole la...

<t>I hear where you're coming from Irda. From my experience playing characters with animal handling abilities, I've had lots of animals die. One of my CK's gave me a resource, though. It was a wizard who was researching spells to "modify" his familiar. He had created items with similar characteristi...

<t>Man that was soo funny! She's a crazy player anyway but that took the cake.<br/> <br/> Another funny thing that happened: I play Frankie the Fantabulous!, a gnome illusionist. Frankie's been having a hard time lately because we've encountered a lot of undead. Illusions don't affect undead. Franki...

<t>I just came back from an excellent sportsman's banquet where we had all kinds of dead animals cooked up. The food was excellent. Alligator tail, beaver stew, rabbit, elk, deer chili, etc. There were a couple of speakers, one who was a retired championship fisherman, and another father-son duo who...

<t>I think using dexterity sounds all well and good, when you want to provide a bonus to a character where one would not be present otherwise.<br/> <br/> However, what if the character has a penalty to his attack rolls due to his low STR? Can he dismiss that penalty because he is using a "light" wea...

<t>Greetings all,<br/> <br/> I'll be traveling for work to Lafayette IN next week. I'll be there from Monday thru Wednesday. Whenever I travel, I like to check out the local gaming scene.<br/> <br/> Hey! It beats killing brain cells in front of a hotel TV every night!<br/> <br/> I've checked out the...

<t>erc1971:<br/> <br/> Not a bad character sheet. Very simple yet elegant. I would use it except I already have one of my own that does similar functions.<br/> <br/> A few suggestions:<br/> <br/> In some cases a CK can give a character a permanant bonus to certain ability checks. Your spreadsheet do...

<t>In games I have run, we just simply say that over a period of time the character is fully healed. It helps get back into the good stuff.<br/> <br/> However, I have used rules for wounds above and beyond damage. A critical hit scores a wound that has some debilitating defect on the character. The ...

<t>My wife has recently started playing in a game (run by Witterquick) along with some close friends. She's never been a gamer of any sort (clue is as complicated as she likes). She's played several sessions with us (human female F1, battle axe beauty). the sessions she enjoyed were combat related, ...

You, your girlfriend, her parents and their family will be in my prayers specifically until I hear otherwise on their condition.

I appreciate your presence around here. I hope things improve and you can return to the crusade.

<t>I am currently playing an illusionist in Witterquick's campaign and loving it. Though he's a tough CK!!<br/> <br/> Everything positive about illusionists that has been said here is exactly correct. They are very difficult to play "in the box" which is why you should always make sure the CK is cap...

Thanksgiving two months in a row! Followed by Christmas a month later...

That's an open door for some serious weight gain!

Just finished a horrendous trip to TN from OH in order to visit my family. As much as the traveling stinks, I would do it over and again to visit my family.

I hope everyone has family (blood or not) with whom to spend a wonderful thanksgiving day.

With the fear of sounding like a complete idiot...

What does DCC stand for?

<t>What a great idea! And you are correct in the thinking that as long as the future hasn't occured yet, it won't mess up your campaign.<br/> <br/> I think you have a home run with this idea! Except I would have the two character's switch places at the last moment instead of the dwarf shimmering awa...

does anyone here really get that precise with encumberence?

Seems like encumberence is the only area that isn't "rules lite" in C&C.

But that's OK. I don't use it anyway!

<t>Great job. I have a fighter character I rolled up that is Dex based and uses two Hook Swords (a' la "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). I really like the idea, but haven't had the opportunity to really play him, yet.<br/> <br/> I would recommend that you change the swordsmith to weaponsmith, though...
