I don't think he needs to be a full caster. I think the player just wants some spells, will check out the AB for that bard option.
Thanks!

5E Type spellcasing Bard fro C&C?
I have a friend who loves his 5E Bard. We have talked about changing to C&C but he hates the idea of a spell less bard. A while back I remember seeing a 5E type Bard someone came up with for C&C but can't seem to remember where. Anyone got a clue?

Re: Wow - Yggsburgh is back...
At the risk of being a wet blanket.. is the setting worth $65? I feel you man. $65 is the old $20 but nobody told my paycheck. I have about 1/3 of the spending power I had a few years ago. That said, I loved Yggsburgh when it came out and have used the book and setting many times over the years. It...

Re: Siege complaints
It's all so subjective, sure I can see someone running the game having a issue with the Siege engine or some other aspect of the game. Saves for one can be harder to make in C&C. There seems to be a new mostly OSR thing of chasing the Dragon though. There are so many OSR games and so many of the...

Re: Monsters & Treasures on Roll20
This was a major pain to do. I ended up having to recreate the entire book. I would hate for this to be the first thing a new Castle Keeper has to deal with in a switch to Castle and Crusades. If I had been new to roll20 then I would have felt my purchase of Monsters and Treasures was a waste and pr...

Re: Your Take on PC Hit Points
My top secret way is to use HP RAW. Be all HARDCORE and tough love. Then make a crapload of things for pc's to spend money on that raise hit point totals. (but never over max).

Re: Monsters & Treasures on Roll20
I went through every monster and used the snipping tool and token maker to copy the token art and add it to the monster. What a pain in the butt. The end result is very nice. A little sad I had to fix it but.... happens.

At this point it still seems to not be fixed. I'm starting a game soon so I had hoped it would be fixed. If not I will have to spend a day or two snipping pictures of the token pictures cutting them out and then uploading them back and connecting them to each and every monster. Ugg! It would be very...

Re: Monsters & Treasures on Roll20
Yeah for sure it looks like the book on roll20 wasn't done right. The monsters are only handouts, and no tokens were made for them and linked with the handouts.
A pretty major mistake for selling a monster book on roll20 8) but I mean it happens. I can see the token art has been done at least.

Re: Half-orcs: How often do have you seen them used as PCs?
In our 5E Games Half-Orcs are common. The bonus to Strength and Con,Darkvision and on Crit deal X3 damage make them ideal for fighter types. Also it doesn't hurt that if you drop one to 0 hit points or less they instead pop up to 1hp,once per day. Also factor in that most run the Faerun setting with...

Been gone a long while playing 5E. It's a fairly decent game with some major issues cooked into the system. It does encourage the same build your character with wowzer powers in this order in this way to be UBER SNOOBER. Some classes and races are stupid unbalanced and some of those front load the u...

Re: Half-orcs: How often do have you seen them used as PCs?
It's rare but Half Orc's get plaid at my table a lot more than Dwarves.
I love Dwarves but I can count PC Dwarves on one hand in 40 years of playing.
Half orcs prob several dozen, though still low.

Does the Castles & Crusades Monsters & Treasure of Aihrde have totally different monsters than in Castles & Crusades Monsters & Treasure?
If they have enough different monsters I will get both but...wasn't sure.
Thanks!

After years of playing 5E the very things I liked about it at the start are what I hate now. Advantage/disadvantage is simply and easy and stupid as hell. Adv/dis is equal to a +5/-5 mod so EVERY single modifier is +5/-5. They don't stack so its just as easy to hit a guy with a sword in the dark sta...
