That's a great point, Kaomera. Since C&C by the book doesn't use opposed checks, most CK's would only allow the enemies a wisdom check to hear a thief if the thief first failed his move silently check. That's a good mantra to have with C&C. Let me give you an example that's relevant to the...

I'll go with system. In no particular order, D&D is: 1. Strong archetypical characters working together: at minimum fighting man, magic user, and cleric are necessary. 2. Vancian magic and spell levels. 3. Armor reducing chance to be hit, as opposed to absorbing damage. Armor options must...

Real life example: Last night the party was taking on a bunch of bugbears in the Mines of Chaos. The half-orc fighter, Blarg, attacked a wounded bugbear, finishing him off with a nasty shot from his bearded axe. The player asked me if he could cleave through the first bugbear to attack a...

I don't understand what the controversy is here. Doesn't the player request the mechanical effects prior to rolling a SIEGE check? Wizard: "I want to focus my arcane might to make this fireball twice as powerful." CK: "Hm... Twice as powerful? That's gonna be a pretty high CL." Or maybe...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. No one is trying to misrepresent what C&C is and is not. C&C has the SIEGE engine, which allows you to pick what sorts of physical or mental training your character has through the selection of primes. C&C does not have any sort of micromanaging what skill points go into...

That's not exactly true. Choosing dexterity as a prime does not increase your armor class or your ability to shoot a bow. It merely gives you a bonus to dexterity-related saves and ability checks. In play, it turns out to be pretty similar to having dexterity-based skills as class skills and...

It's all detailed in Monsters and Treasure, but I haven't looked at it for some time, so I can't remember many of the details. There is a level requirement for making certain items, but I don't remember if a SIEGE check is necessary, although your DM might call for one.

Let me echo those who have also posted in recommending you join the forums at www.trolllord.com. It's a very helpful community. Here are some links to threads that might get you started: Races of Eberron...

Thank you both for your help! For simplicity, let's go with the FAQ and assume all images are in the same square as the caster. So if I'm regular Joe Fighter, and I'm trying to attack a wizard who has four Mirror Images, I have two options. 1. I waltz up and attack the guy normally, with...

I've looked through the old threads here and on the WoTC boards, but I couldn't for the life of me find the answer to this question: If a monster has blindsight, is it affected by the Mirror Image spell or do figments not affect it? What if we're talking about the lifesense of a Dread Wraith...

I grew up playing Mentzer D&D and AD&D and eventually switched over to D&D 3x when I could no longer find 2nd edition games. I like C&C in part because it reminds me of my old gaming days but mostly because it is so simple to run. I'll still play in 3x games, but sometimes the complexity and...
