C&C Rules Compendium

Post by Snoring Rock »

Does anyone use the C&C Rule Compendium? I like some of the classes I there and want to use them in my Wilderlands campaign, but I want to know if anyone has play tested them yet. Generally I will use them for NPC’s, but there may be one or two I would allow as player characters.

I believe Lord Seurek allowed a couple of them in his Myth Drannor game, but that was before the Rule Compendium was even compiled.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Seriously, no one else has tried any of these out?

I noticed you gone, Tree, but never realized it had to do with the compendium. I didn't realize that.

Wait...you talking about that crusader companion, Tree. If so, I do remember that. Ugh.

I thought it was alright. I don't think a lot of it got playtested, but that's my personal opinion. I don't think there was anything in there too game-breaking.

The Compendium was a completely different animal than the Companion. After having my memory refreshed I can see why the Compendium was so controversial. That said, I have to give praise to it as an attempt at making an SRD for C&C. However, the execution was questionable and needed to be revised to work as it should have.

Okay, so I think I remember the conversation (I think it was the one where the guy wanted to host it on the boards, Peter got involved, it got messy, etc., etc.) but I guess I have the wrong pdf in mind. I guess maybe I never had the Companion. Maybe Tree can send it to me, too...if you're listening, Tree... :D

The link to the Companion can be found here. It's the second download.

Well golly, I had no idea there was controversy...

I have both and as I remember, they were not all that different. I was giving thought to using a few of the classes. I want to dress up my NPC selection for my Wilderlands campaign. Keeping it simple however, is the key. I have been fiddling with different multi-class combinations. That would keep it basic C&C.

No, I do not use it.

My NPCs are only "classed" if they matter, and 99% do not.

Can't say I've used the classes just because there are so many already in core C&C.

I've used some of the monsters and items though.
