Nice work on the write-up. Very well written and far superior to my C&C is mo betta argument.

Completely off topic, but this reminds me of a restaraunt in Los Angeles, "Mo Betta Meaty Meat Burger", near the fairfax district.

1. include updated errata in to the body of work, including encubrance errata. Include multi-class rules (unless they are to be in the CKG).

2. INDEX!!!!!!

3. 8.994 out of 10

<t>I like that idea alot, also. The idea of 'serious wound hit points' [your max HD +con mod] and your 'experience related damage mitigation' hit points [all hit points after max HD +con mod] seems to fit with the general concept that hit points are BOTH real wounds AND your ability to avoid serious...

<t>I have been playing around with a BD&D C&C conversion, and have thought of simplifiying the RC weapon mastery rules, while keeping the general feel of them.<br/> <br/> This conversion ties in to the C&C fighter's Weapon Specialization ability:<br/> WEAPON SPECIALIZATION: At 1st level,...

<t>Thanks Omote, that is what I was looking for.<br/> <br/> Just for S&G's, I'm planning a write up for a BE(CMI) D&D (14 level max), just using the fighter, cleric, wizard, thief, elf, dwarf and halfling. I want to use the old BECMI to hit progression, 6th level spell limit, 3 alignments, e...

<t>OK, C&C as written is a d20ized version of AD&D. Has anyone here retooled it to be a B/X or BECMI conversion? <br/> <br/> In short, has anyone rewritten the classes (including Dwarf, Elf, and Halfing as classes), hit die, BtH rates, etc to replicate a BD&D feel?<br/> <br/> I was think...

<t>Thanks all for the clarification. The apparent conflict was bothing me. Now I think I understand: CLW, CSW, CCW all apply as normal when ABOVE 0 hp. At -1 hp or below, the spells only restore you to 0 hp. The apparent intent being "as long as you're not down, you're not out; but once you are down...

<t>One thing I don't understand.....<br/> <br/> Why have Cure Critical Wounds or Cure Serious Wounds, if (according to page 120 of the PHB) magical healing only brings you back up to 0 hp, and you must heal the rest naturally (1 hp per day of total rest). Since RAW states that at -10 you are dead, y...

<t>Yeah, season 1 rocked...until the finale. Honestly, the "4 years past" about 'future Peter' and 'future Sylar' was amazing, and was what the finale should have been.<br/> <br/> Season 2 was just disappointing. It promised so little (a view of the 1st gen heroes) and delivered even less. I was gla...

<t>I can't remember if it was the 1e DMG, or something else I read, but it talked about how a 'captain' mercenary was equivilant to a 5th level fighter. Not that he WAS a 5th level fighter, but that his skill level was EQUIVILANT to.<br/> <br/> PC's gain experience through adventuring. NPC's 'gain' ...

<t>I never played 2e, just 1e and 3.5.<br/> <br/> that being said, I do think that C&C runs easier. 1e had a different chart or rule for nearly everything: AC-goes down, saves-goes up, ability checks-roll under, attack rolls-roll over, thief skills-%, open doors 1 in 6, etc., etc.<br/> <br/> I c...

<t>I've always ruled that the little-people (halflings and gnomes) cannot use longswords, longspears, and other large type weapons. A halfling longsword is essentially a shortsword, and does 1d6 damage. A gnome shortsword is a dagger, and does 1d4 damage. A halfling dagger is a knife, and does 1d2 d...

<t>When I look at stuff I wrote 20 years ago, I always shake my head and think wow, I was such a putz. I'm definitely a different person now than I was then, but I wonder if 20 years from now I'll look at stuff I write today and think wow, I was such a putz? Perhaps over time, I'm just becoming a sl...

Probably a game breaker, but it sounds really cool!

For my 2 coppers, I really like the gold/cream colored covers, with the map and all.

I also really like the interior layout, fonts, and b&w art.

I agree with the earlier post, that the simplicity of the layout elegantly mirrors the simplicity of the SIEGE engine.
