<t>Mine would be the Illithids.<br/> <br/> I had a single Mind Flayer in my campaign of years ago that was way too strong for the characters to beat. I would have him show up like a tornado and wreak political havoc on the area at-large. He never killed anything but would turn the PC's happy little ...

<t>Great monster.<br/> <br/> Again another vote for a great movie. Thanks for bringing it up people, now I have to schedule it in this week.<br/> <br/> I almost hate to list it as one of my favorite movies. Because any time I mention it, I get that "Did he just say what I thought he said" looks. <br...

Literary Overload

<t>I have made a critical mistake....I purchased both the Codex and Zagyg at the same time. Both arrived at the same time and both now sit on the table calling me... <br/> <br/> I started Erde/Airdhe then was tempted by the posts on this forum to read Zagyg. So for the past week I have staggered rea...

<t>Welcome Nwelte1.<br/> <br/> I am currently running my sons through the free C&C module "Lion in the Ropes". I think it is very well written and more story/roleplay than dungeon crawl. I thought it was a very good starting point to get them involved in role-playing. Gradually I will increase t...

<t>Though I am a newbie to C&C and can't offer much as far as experience it's still pretty tough to sit by on these great discussions on not want to type. So here goes.<br/> <br/> I agree that a PC should not have to roll if it is under his/her strength limitation for a basic lift or push. Thoug...

<t>Like Dadiceguy I have also implemented Grey-Elf's fate system. <br/> <br/> With my sons both being very inexperienced roleplayers I thought it would be a great system to help them along. The one thing I like about it is that it drives home that heroic feel by limiting the use of fate points to he...

Great stuff DangerDwarf. I really like the back story of the Doomfang, they will make for great fun in the game I just started with my sons. There is nothing like a desperate orc.
Thanks

<t>Thanks for the answers people. <br/> <br/> Treebore and Serleran confirmed what I thought I had read. I understand the need to remove an open ended mechanic, the only thing that got me was that it did not matter whether I was a first level wizard or a twentieth, the roll against spell resistance ...

Spell Resistance

<t>I have a newbie question. It may have been asked before so for that I apologize. <br/> <br/> I was quite happy reading through all the C&C rules and got everything about the system. The one thing that I did not get was why the spell level or PC level did not figure into spell resistance as a ...
