I would personally count a failure towards disapproval, as the cleric is making a spell check, but otherwise I would agree. It is actually RAW! From Page 30 (7th Printing) of the Core Rule book: Turn unholy: A cleric wields his holy symbol to turn away abominations. At any time, a cleric may utiliz...

An NPC caster (or monster) has the ability to do this, but wants something from you first. Eating the liver of a particular monster can restore 1d3 points of lost Stamina. Bonding yourself (via patron bond) to a particular being restores your health, it is said. A servant of that patron dwells in a...

That's just....fantastic.

Thought I would chime in on this one & throw in my 2 coppers. From the DCCRPG core book under ghouls: “Ghouls do not make any noise whatsoever. They are un- dead, and thus can be turned by clerics. They do not eat, drink, or breathe, and are immune to critical hits, disease, and poison. As un-d...

Jeff goad doesn't understand why not...

Well...I mean...there Transylvanian Adventures....

Just sayin'...

In the RttSS tournament at Bride, the only one I know of that was denied was attempting to change the Deed die to be a success when it was a failure.

Other than that...Luck was flying fast and furious...

Hey all, In the players pack PDF for return to starless it says "A character who has an ability score reduced to 0, by whatever cause, is considered slain and irrecoverable. This includes players who voluntarily expend ability points through spellburn or by burning Luck . In those cases, the c...

the Pandemic?

Pre-gens. For the love of all that is holy, pre-gens.

As a 3rd level wizard with an intelligence of 13, he only needs to roll an 8 to blind the target if it fails a save, and a 14 to knock it unconscious if it fails 2 saves. Since the target has to make a save with a DC equal to the spell roll, the blinding save is at least a 20, which is tough to mak...

So if you have to recalculate the Luck modifier at every loss of Luck points, how does this square up with the rules that states that you cannot regain luck points easily ? If you are at -3 luck modifier, you could be there for a very long time Yes...yes you could. But there are tons of opportuniti...

Using Table 7-9 ... I consider all awards from the first entry to be "restorative", i.e. they can only bring you back up to your "normal" Luck score. No permanent increase is allowed, so 18 is the maximum and any awards that would push you over that number are ignored. I conside...

One of the genius moves of deed die is that it doubles as the BAB from the old d20 system AND the determination threshold of the mighty deed.

Pure. Genius.

There might be some confusion here. The higher result is more powerful refers to the spell check - not any of the table used to generate a familiar. A wizard can summon a familiar with the spell find familiar. The resulting familiar is determined by his spell check and alignment. The higher the spel...

I am the worst father ever.

What characters can do is different than what monsters can do. It's one of the main shifts away from the d20 standard approach of the early 2000's that DCC embraces (and I personally love). Having said that, take a look at examples in modules and in the monsters and how they handle any special attac...

I'll give you $50 for it...

Since you add your Luck score modifier to your d30 die roll on Table 1-2, what happens if your total is > 30? Which Birth Augur and Lucky Roll apply then? I believe the premise of your query is incorrect. One does not add the Luck modifier to the 1d30 roll on table 1-2. The sentence that begins Thi...

...if they are granted a bonus at the end of an adventure and it takes them over their permanent Luck score, I might provide any overage as Fleeting Luck (see Lankhmar) to be provided at the beginning of the next session. This keeps them from adjusting their Luck score but gives them a little Luck ...

Ironic given that many of the most well-known names in our little community are females...

I'm not sure I understand the question. The way I read the 7-9 table in the judges section does not apply to permanent Luck scores, but to current Luck scores. Yes, this means that for Halflings and Thieves, the reward at the end of the adventure may not seem as great - because they can achieve the ...

It's an interesting subject. I've been a fan of these since they were first published. But I'm not sure I've seen a system or approach that would handle it well. I'd be really interested to see how DCC would work...

1) See Gnome Boy's Answer 2) See Gnome Boy's Answer 3) Clarification to Gnome Boy's answer: By the Book, Agility modifier does NOT apply to damage, and only applies to ranged weapon attacks. 4) Don't build encounters. Don't think about balance. Characters will have to learn to run away, on occasion....

I've always been a huge fan of Portal as a way to start. Short and sweet and to the point. It also is good at getting players out of the combat-is-everything mode. Ironically, in our home campaign, we did Sailors first, then Portal (we had two waves of people join the game). In 2018 I ran four funne...
