c&c condensed

Post by Barrataria »

What's in this? I assume the classes are F, C, MU, R, but what are the other two? I assume the spell listing is incomplete?

I'm working on ahomebrew campaign guide, and I'm thinking it might be easier to link up with this than the whole PHB (I'm rewriting barbarians, bards, and a couple other classes).

Figher, Ranger, Thief, Cleric, Mage and Knight if I recall rightly?

The level only goes up to 10 as well I think?

ALMOST right... but the classes are Fighter, Thief, Magic-User, Cleric, Monk, and Knight. Essentially one class to represent each stat.

You don't get the Ranger, Assassin, Barbarian, Illusionist, Druid, Paladin, and Bard.

The races are Dwarf, Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, as well as Human of course.

You don't get the Gnome and Half-Orc

The EPP charts are like the book (not cut at 10)

The spell lists are complete for Magic-User (Wizard) and Cleric but all references and cross references to Illusionist and Druid spells have been very nicely edited out!

I don't mind that the classes and races were reduced but the complete spell lists would have been nice. I still wish that a complete version of the PHB was available in PDF form. This is coming from the guy that has a pair of PHB's in hardback and ended up getting the PDF for convenience. I also got the M&T PDF to complement the pair of M&T hardbacks. The M&T PDF is complete though.

Another thing I noticed is there are certain expansions (clarifications) in various sections (like combat) that ARE NOT in the Condensed PDF. The one I came across was the small section on withdrawing or running away from combat. That is not in the Condensed PDF but in the actual Hardback. That just makes me wonder what else may have been 'condensed' for the PDF.

HOWEVER, I will say that as a 'starter' it is quite good. At the end of the PDF, there are a selection of monsters to use with the Rising Knight conveniently located there as well.

Hope that helps!

I knew I was forgetting something? Once I sent the layout in I pretty much forgot all about it.
