The former is intended so that if the PC manages to off her current opponent, she can then use up to 1/2 of her regular movement to get closer to a new opponent for the next round. Alterna...

<t>Many years ago, one of the GMs I played under worked up a huge sub-campaign that centered around a PC played by his wife, Gail. Her quest was to conquer a certain area of the GM's world for her deity. This sub-campaign went on for months and months, with the main players involved every freaking w...

CharlieRock wrote: Still, unless the circumstances were dire why not let the bookworm use that kind of weapon. Those things only did like, what, 1d4 damage? Don't get me wrong--I agree with you, in principle. But remember that PCs do occasionally run into critters which can only be affected by magi...

How much?

I'd almost be willing to pony up a dollar.

ChaosImp wrote: I remember that fighters were also allowed to use a wand of magic missiles but had to make a roll to hit and only one missile would fire instead of two if a mage used it. ( 1st ed AD&D). According to the 1E DMG, anyone other than an MU using a Wand of Magic Missiles had to roll ...

CharlieRock wrote: Your right. It was "protection" scrolls (that's the way the book has it, with the quotation marks over protection like that) that fighters can use. It also says a few wands and one rod. But, you know what? I don't even remember anybody trying to have a fighter use anyth...

CharlieRock wrote: Calling C&C a retro version of D&D (or AD&D) is starting to bug me. It's not. It did take a step back in time to gaming before D&D3 but then it took a step forward again in a different direction then d20. So it's not a throwback to old D&D. I see C&C as a ...

CharlieRock wrote: Well, I think AD&D allowed fighters to use defensive wands. If they could ever find one before the MUs did. I believe the only "wand" that 1E AD&D allowed fighters to use was the "Wand of Wonder". Most of us would groan whenever a character would pull ...
