Re: Cost of enchanting items
What I use: Assessment fee of 50 gp to see if the item to be enchanted is of sufficient quality to survive the enchantment*, Cost of materials x5, 1000 gp x spell level or equivalent spell level of enchantment, and an annoyance fee (500 gp plus how much the 'customer' has ticked off the enchanter w...

Re: What gaming stuff are you reading?
Pendragon...good times. A boar was a credible threat. lol Played 3rd ed back in early 90's. Rgr that on a boar being a threat, I remember one adventure (or it might have been a test run on learning the system and combat) I had the party on a hunt with their lord. A boar got cornered and one player ...

Re: Castles & Crusades question - Perception
DrewD, Welcome to the board, always good to see a new face around here. For Perception I do wisdom checks (and yes clerics always have Wis Prime, but anyone can chose it as a prime if they want their character to be good at those things) and I have level added if what they are looking at/for falls i...

Re: What gaming stuff are you reading?
Pendragon 6e Starter Set. I have made a character using the start of the book so far. Next up will be the solo adventure to get used to the sytem etc. I have always liked the idea of Pendragon, and even tried it back in the day (I think it was the 3ed or maybe 4ed version). However, the group I was...

Re: Spell Question - Prismatic Sphere
Not entirely true if you reference back to the 1st edition of the spell though where it was called a Force Field similar to a Wall of Force spell. Another one of those spells that's suffered from edition edits/tweaking. Given that...the 1e reference does specifically state that Teleport, Misty Step...

Re: Time Tracking
For the most part a lot of it is hand waived, unless it adds tension to the game (for the one off horror type game, or when the girls' game was doing a high stress cave clear of orcs). Even on those times I don't completely track it. I just use it to add stress as needed at the right time "as y...

Re: outsiders
Isn't 'outsider' a 2nd or 3rd edition category for dwellers beyond the material world, not including undead, so elementals, demons, devils, and so forth? That is what I always assumed it was. I ruled any evil or neutral demon or 'outer plane' dweller was effected but an angel type was not effected ...

So, last night's Monday Night Ne'er-do-wells game didn't happen, but we had a great BS session. One thing that came up was various lists of 'the Best Adventure Module' from different surveys lists, followed by how many good modules came out for Basic v 1e v 2e etc. I'll admit that I under remembered...

Re: C&C Character manager
just got an email pointing to this: https://trolllord.com/product/cc-character-manager/ I wonder if one can program alternate ability score modifiers and what not? Now that is a good idea. I preferer some of the CKG modifiers to the standard btb, so if that is an option I'd be more interested in it.

Re: Rosetta Stone?
I've ran 1e & 2e adventures with C&C. You just have to change the AC and modify the spells a little. It is easy enough to do that for the most part I can do it on the fly with min notes.
I've only idea mined 3e and 5e so am not spun up on using C&C for them.
