I'd prefer to wait on house-ruling this matter and get the official word. Hmmm. Sounds more like a Dual Class than a Multi-Class, unless you're going by the 3.x SRD. ...

<t>The very first time that I played an RPG (Holmes D&D), the DM (a friend of mine of the same age who insisted I find out what D&D was all about) pretty much winged it. He was constantly looking at the rule book, had nothing written down, and there was no map. It was a complete hack job.<br...

Alea Iacta Est!... and by the looks of it, quite a few times!
I like the bit about scholars not knowing what game this was used for. Silly scholars.

Pretty cool. I like the Wasted Years one too. He must be laying down multiple tracks.

Now that's sound advice!

<t>Depends on the players I think. It's good if your players appreciate it, but it can be a little over the top for some. Personally, I may use the language/expressions that the NPC uses, or display some personal tick or habit that the NPC may have, but I usually don't try to strain my vocal cords. ...

Wow. Who knew that a romance novel thread could devolve into "Cleaver the Pit" before any 4th edition thread did...

Yeah, I work as a contractor at an Intel facility and have to deal with PC's all the time. Hate 'em. Well, Win-blows more specifically. Linux is nice if you have the time to fiddle. Personally, I leave the PC's at work and use a Mac at home.

Heh. Knew I'd get to use this emoticon eventually...

There was a house rule we tried once, way back when in AD&D. It was max HP at first level, then we rolled double HD each level, taking the highest of the two rolls. Worked pretty well.

<r>And don't forget Traveller; another great resource for mining ideas. Try to get a hold of 76 Patrons or any of the double adventures if you're looking for a short adventure.

<r>Got one on eBay last year (or maybe the year before) for about $30 (if I recall correctly). Some wear on the cover, otherwise in good shape. Nice book to have. I also have the PDF version which is WAAAY cheaper:<br/> <URL url="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=17171&i...

'Tis true. Not very easy to wrangle the stats over to C&C/SS from SF, but the adventures are good fun and full of great ideas for setting, plot, NPC's, and creatures.

<t>If your players are getting their keisters handed to them on a regular basis, then either the encounter was too much for a party of the given level, or they aren't being careful about how they handle each encounter.<br/> <br/> I give max HP at first level (NPC's too!), then they're on their own. ...
