(Imagine: a ranger without spells; a paladin without spells; a real 'skald-like' bard without spells. A system that recognizes that, gee, maybe the majority of adventuring classes should, you know, not have spells. At last.)I am a long time champion of the RC D&D rules, but the C&C core rulebook should capture all the benefits of RC (one book, a coherent and balanced rules set, good feelings, etc.), but without some of RC's disadvantages (e.g. the 'races-as-classes', etc.). Yeah, the box set is nice, but I can hardly wait until my C&C PHB arrives.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
