Troll Lord Games

<t>I make my players roll 4d6 minus to lowest 6 times and then arrange to taste. I also allow them to reroll if the sum of all their attribute modifiers is less than +1. This system does not create hopeless or overpowered characters and is straightforward enough.<br/> <br/> I do like point-buy syste...

Quote: if Helm AC is better than the base AC then improve the latter by one point; if Helm AC is worse than the base AC by two or more, then penalize the latter one point Although I do find this approach to be interesting, I do not like the fact that not wearing a helm hurts characters wearing ligh...

Quote: Thanks for this! My pleasure! I didn't like the whole multiple memorization of a single spell concept. Having clerics use up most of their spell slots to get cure spells or damage spells for wizards makes them utility-belt-like especially at lower levels. I prefer that they memorize cure lig...

<t>Here's some of my house rules on spell memorization and casting :<br/> <br/> Spellcasters do not lose spells after casting them. They are still retained in their memory. With rest, they can cast the same spells they had memorized the previous day. They do not have to memorize spells every day. Ho...

Quote: There's a wonderful opportunity here to put out a CKG that could rival the old DMG for usefulness and utility, and become a new classic thats actually in print....and in my eyes, they're blowing that opportunity. Actually, I kind of agree with you Shadowslayer. I don't think it's wise for TL...

Quote: 1st great work Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my rather unconventional take on the C&C rules. Quote: 2nd any chance to get Class Rebalancing Spread Sheet and Character Alignment Tracking Sheet in PDF Actually yes, I think I may have overestimated people's familiarity or appreciation of Mic...

Quote: FACT: The oldest continuously-played Dungeons & Dragons character is believed to be a 237th level magic-user named Kirin Blade. Tom Darcy started his character in 1979, and has played the game every weekend since then for an estimated total of 22,500 hours. For the kick of it (yes, I do ...

Oops, looks like you've been much faster than me, Rhuvein. Sorry for the redundancy Stoneshape.

<t>Although I do not own a copy of the Players Handbook first printing (and I would get a copy of the second printing if I were you), I have been told that its layout has been significantly revised in the second one. The errata of the first version has been corrected in the updated version (you can ...

<t>I could use some more of your PDF-related wisdom to enlighten me on the following question : CutePDF vs PrimoPDF, what are their main pros and cons? They look basically the same to me for the purpose of converting Microsoft Office files. Have anyone used both and would care to share about his exp...

I'm sure to find something that suits me among these options.

Thanks again, you've all been very helpful!

<t>I've added a new version of my house rules on my web page. I only made minor additions, changes and corrections to the previous version. I also converted it to PDF for those who were put off by the Word format.<br/> _________________<br/> "Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a good fantasy."...

<t>I opened a trial account at Adobe and I was wondering if you guys really pay up $100 per year to convert your files into PDF format. I don't know about you but I think this service is extremely expensive for private use... <br/> _________________<br/> "Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a g...

Just added a pdf version.

<t>I don't want to sound like an ad or anything but I have revamped the armament section of the rules (especially the weapon damage). Nothing earth-shattering, a long sword still does 1d8 but there are slight differences now. If you are interested, just check out my house rules on my web page. Perso...

<t>I'm of the generous type, my players get more than half the amount of HPs they can get from their HD.<br/> <br/> d4 : 1-2 = 3, 3-4 = 4 ; d6 : 1-2 = 4, 3-4 = 5, 5-6 = 6 ; etc.<br/> <br/> For one thing, I totally agree that having a 1 HP character sucks bad and is nearly unplayable...as a player I ...

<t>It's well-taught. I like the gods-left-the-building concept. It's kind of a darksunesque cosmology set in a pre-apocalypse world.

This may well be the best one I have seen so far. Good work and thanks!

Quote: 2: Elves at Helm's Deep? Point taken, logically, individuals of a wise immortal race would not waste their precious infinite lives in battle except under the most dire circumstances (even if they strive for good...), they would simply stand back and outlive their enemies whenever possible......

Quote: The main reason I am asking is that one of my players has said that he wants to create "an illusionist who eventually wants to become a sage, interested in geography and history." If one of my players were to come to me with an interesting character concept that required the additi...

Quote: 2. Your Race determines your prime attributes along with Class. Race primes are: STR- Half-Orc, DEX- Halfling, CON- Dwarf, INT- Gnome, WIS- Half-Elf, CHA- Elf. Humans get to choose any 2 primes for their racial primes. If your class and race prime are the same, you may choose another prime. ...

<t>I find some of the criticism (here and elsewhere) about the LotR movies to be overly harsh. I know there are some hardcore fans out there but they have to realise that it is strictly impossible to perfectly translate such rich books into films. I can't think of any way they could've made them any...

Thanks!
