[QUOTE="Lhorgrim, post: 4030930, member: 12222"] I don't want to derail the thread, and I'm no C&C expert, but I think I can give an answer to this. I'm not saying one system is better than the other. Just trying to answer the question. C&C uses the Siege Engine mechanic and that allows you to try almost any action with a check against a specific ability score and your level. The DM (Castle Keeper in C&C) sets a target number for the action and adjudicates the results of the check. The target number does have a formula, but the CK has to use judgement in some situations. You are really only limited by your imagination on manuevers to attempt. The disconnect between C&C and D&D seems to be that the DM(CK) determines the outcomes in C&C, and the outcomes are more proscribed by the books (most of the time) for D&D. I'm really interested in seeing 4E myself. If it can streamline the game and fix a few other issues I have with 3.X I will happily buy the books. [/QUOTE]
