[QUOTE="daddystabz, post: 4523846, member: 54231"] Actually, you are quite misguided and totally wrong in most of your assumptions. Also, keep in mind that the chief tenant of C&C is that it is meant to be houseruled and modified by the Castle Keeper. In fact, Gary Gygax himself stated he preferred C&C over the newer forms of D&D. He considered the newer editions of D&D (3e forward) a pale shadow of what D&D was meant to be. That is pretty much endorsement enough for me. Ask Treebore here what he thinks of C&C. He is one of its biggest supporters. Try to step outside your D&D fanboy guise. Gygax was the co-creator of D&D and its chief mind. Without him there would be no D&D. He stated C&C was more D&D than D&D from 3e forward. What else do you need? As for your illogical criticism of the SIEGE engine it is in fact a VERY simple system and much easier than having a boat load of skills and skill points to have to take into account. Instead, you can take care of all that with a simple SIEGE roll. It doesn't get easier than this. All my friends understood it right off the bat and even my girlfriend's 10 year old son can grasp this simple mechanic and could play within it. How hard is it? If the attempted task is in regard to an ability that is a prime attribute of your character then your DC is lower than if it is tied to one that is non-prime. Prime being an ability score that the character chose at creation to be a primary focus. Non-prime being not one chosen as a primary focus. Pretty simple. [/QUOTE]
