[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6163755, member: 463"] I absolutely love CCs; I use the rules much more broadly, for many major NPCs, especially allies of the PCs, and I have them at a range of levels. I recently published a bunch on my campaign blog - [url]http://frloudwater.blogspot.co.uk/[/url] - the PCs are 14th level, the detailed CCs are 8th-13th but it's only [URL="http://frloudwater.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/sir-jorah-blackthorn-steward-of-travys.html"]Sir Jorah Blackthorn [/URL]the 13th level guy who adventures with them. He's very popular and had at least 3 awestruck PCs romantically chasing him, but he seems to have settled for Lirael the competent but shy half-elf Ranger archer over Quinn the floozy Bard or Pealias the (male) Eladrin Ranger. :lol: One thing I do with CCs is use them as temp characters for drop-in players; the fully designed ones like Sir Jorah are completely playable as PCs if you let them use Action Points. Other simpler CCs like [URL="http://frloudwater.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/megana-nistral-loudwater-master-smith.html"]Megana Nistral[/URL] are basically monster-statted but with CC/PC type hit points and healing surges, the stat block just helps them interact with the PCs and gives an idea of their capabilities. Overall, the CC rules work great and I will use them for many characters, long before I'd use the very poor "PC Class NPC" rules in the DMG. [/QUOTE]
