    do multi-class character use the best hit die type at first level? or do they take an average? what about when they level? [although this could wait for awhile, it'd be nice to establish the rule now ;-) ]

    [Castles & Crusades-Open for Wait List] Skylark's The Temple of Elemental Evil (T1-4)

    I had the exact same thought! I am almost encumbered just with weapons too! I was trying to create an unencumbered character but just decided to pack everything but the kitchen sink, which still makes Avadne only lightly encumbered. Are we doing encumbrance wrong? I know anything with a w...

    [Castles & Crusades-Open for Wait List] Skylark's The Temple of Elemental Evil (T1-4)

    Should we tally up the Encumbrance for our characters? If so, how much does a Spellbook weigh? And what's its EV? Should we buy Iron Rations?

    Has anyone else acquired the CnC Cheat Sheet? I don't own the rulesbook yet, and I am wondering how accurate this version of the Cheat Sheet is: goreanmale.homestead.com/files/cnc/cnccheatsheet.pdf

    [Castles & Crusades-Open for Wait List] Skylark's The Temple of Elemental Evil (T1-4)

    Hi. I've neither done a play-by-post game nor played Castles & Crusades. I've been interested in trying both for a couple years, so this might be a good opportunity since you seem open to letting newbies get their feet wet! ;-) I am in Pennsylvania, USA, so I am in the Eastern Time Zone. I...

    Words you learned through D&D

    brazen strumpet expensive doxy haughty courtesan ah, the wandering prostitute sub-table in the back of the AD&D DMG... specifically, the words I hadn't known before were "brazen," "doxy," and "haughty." I too credit RPGs for upping my vocab. Comic books too.

    Hey grammarians - proofreading question!

    Sadly, I was hoping a Brit would pop on and correct you, but what you seem to cite as a general rule is simply the American rule. Standard British style is to default to single quotation marks, with the double-quotes being nested. Full-stops (aka periods) go outside the quotes. So, for your...

    Hey grammarians - proofreading question!

    And it's important to note that this is the American style. British style uses single quotes with periods outside of them.

    Mage Guild in a low magic setting?

    Covens. Small groups of people who can practice magic who band together to share resources and protection. Some covens may ally themselves with political figures. Other coverns may have to work clandestinely, esp. if magic is outlawed or frowned upon in their area. An old concept that may...

    "Elf Generalist" ability for a Sorcerer?

    I always see the difference between the sorcerer and the wizard as: wizard: potentially limitless spell selection via spellbooks + fixed number of spells per day sorcerer: finite (and relatively fixed) spells known + lots of freely choosable spells per day If an Elf Generalist indeed gets an...

    Graduate Studies course on D&D?

    I have a Master's degree from an Ivy league university for which I fulfilled the paper requirement of that degree by submitting a paper I wrote about roleplaying games. For those who don't know, the Ivy League is a collection of old schools that are considered the creme de la creme of higher...
