[QUOTE="bolie, post: 1967432, member: 8312"] [b]Ambivalent[/b] I've just started playing C&C and I have mixed feelings about it. The complexity of 3.5 does take some time, but I personally like the options. All else being equal, I'd prefer it. Having said that, C&C is an acceptable substitute and I'm happy to play it. I found the book difficult to navigate, though. I also found some of the descriptions a bit unclear. I'm not sure I like how extremely simple monsters are. From a hack and slash standpoint, that's fine. But developing monsters as anything other than just something to kill would be harder in C&C than in D&D3.5. In 3.5, you can vary monster stats and add classes, skills, and feats to give an otherwise generic monster a unique feel. In C&C, a kobold is a kobold is a kobold. I like that all stats are used for saves using an identical mechanic. So there are "no saving throws" but at the same time, there are six. [/QUOTE]
