Re: Characters using other class abilities

Weapon finesse is one of those things that makes sense, but only if universally applied. I agree here. I should apply finesse too and I think C&C should have an advantage or an option that could mimic It. What Is the list of weapons you think could work with finesse? You add Dex or Str bonus to...

Re: Characters using other class abilities

1: the flaw in the premise that "anyone can attempt anything". 2: that permitting some classes to use thiefly abilities is inherently unfair. -FIzz If you are talking about pick pockets, disarm traps and pick locks, I agree. If you are talking about climbing and listening I disagree. As I...

Re: Experience for routing a monster?

A defeated monster is a monster that flees or a monster captured?

I do not remember where I've read it, but it made a difference. To capture a monster is as defeating it. A monster that flees has the full amount of XP value?

Experience for routing a monster?

I have difficulties in these days to find the information I search for in the core books. Indexes and Key words do not help.

I remember I read something about routing Monsters, capturing them or killing them.

Is there a difference in the XP award for the party?

Oddity with coins in a backpack

The PH says: Use the following for a baseline. Each coin in C&C is roughly 1 ounce. This would make gold coins, as the metal is heavier, smaller than silver coins, whose metal is lighter. Every 16 coins is equal to a pound. However coins have almost no bulk to them, but may have weight. A single...

Players' Guide to Aihdre. Setting book for the C&C "default" world. There are 2 versions: one for Siege/C&C and one for D&D 5e. The 5e book gives suggestions on incorporating some 5e concepts into a C&C game. All optional of course.
Very interesting!

Re: Winter Clothing set

Ok so I had almost the same idea. It Is not a set of "clothes" but a set of Winter accessories (including things like wool socks or scarfs) that help and that must be used in conjunction with other items.

Thanks!

Re: Characters using other class abilities

So mostrojoe you are correct. A non-class ability (if allowed) is not forced to use a CB of 18. Challenge Base is always based on primes. -Fizz Nailed It!

Re: Characters using other class abilities

I don't think so. Where is the chapter that states this rule? It is never said that a non-class ability must be used with a 18 base difficulty. The BTB advice to the CK is that a class ability of another class should not be usable at all . So that makes 18 base or 12 irrelevant if going by that rul...

Challenge base of 18 and cannot add level to the roll
I think It s unfair to put a base challenge of 18 to a characters that, even not being a thief, has a prime DEX.

Characters using other class abilities

I think everyone can try to climb a Wall or can try to listen behind a Door. Thieves Just Do It Better. How do you manage such situations? I usually give the level bonus (i.e. experience bonus) only to the proper class. So a thief that wants to climb a Wall enjoys the level bonus, the other classes ...

Can a Wight be damaged by magic?

Hi everyone.
The M&T book says that the Wight can damaged only by physical attacks made with +1 or better magical weapons.

This means no silver weapons?

And more importantly, that means no magic missiles? No fireballs can harm Wights?

Giant Scorpions in C&C?

I was delving in a 90s AD&D adventure module, and one of encounters included a giant scorpion. So I get the M&T manual to check the C&C statistics but... it's me or there is not the giant scorpion as a monster? It seems weird because it is almost a classic!
