Holy cow!

LOL

However, even 99/100 is a fraction

One thing I really liked about 3rd edition D&D was that high numbers were always better. Could we get that with these spells as well? In particular, I reference the mishaps where 1 is a minor physical appearance change but 8 is a greater corruption. People really "get it" when high is...

Like yourself, my group is choosing another fantasy RPG till DCC is released. ... My real love is for DCC and when it is released I will start a DCC campaign at my local game store. Let's face it...DCC is just kick butt fun! :lol: Yeah my group stopped playing too... we had 5 sessions, then a littl...

a 3 months delay, I can do that... I just don't want a "YEARS" delay, like when Diablo II was supposed to be released!

I houseruled so far to allow a Save to characters for each stat loss, at the end of a quest: if they pass, the stat loss is recovered fully. If not, 1 point is permanently lost. (therefore that -5 STR poison would really get the dwarf into troubles for the current story, but then, if he survives th...

Like the story a lot!

Lol, that last phrase in your signature made me ROFL! ^^
Welcome aboard, and keep the playtest reports coming

Here you can find here a Patron I wrote that might be what you're looking for:

signed by me as well.

maybe craete a thread for these, as they're a lil bit off topic.. interesting tho.

:lol: :lol: :lol: LOVE YOUR SOLUTIONS! refined ogre bladder... (...) ...resulting in PC's that flail about uselessly for most of the time. My wife has started referring to the game as "Joseph Goodman's Futility Generator." I forgot to mention that I allow level up only between adventures ...

That being said, stats still need to scale with the player. You can only stay at 6 str for so long See... even you agree that something needs to be done... :D The way i ran the game, i felt as well that something had to be done. However it was fairly easy to give out some stat boosts as quest rewar...

that's a good division and it's pretty much the same that i use in general. However, after a long time playing D&D 3.x both me and my players feel that not all the weapons should be the same... that's why for example I had to change damage output of bows and x-bows,as 1d6 shortbow, 1d7 crossbow,...

I 've read in another post that some folks don't like the idea for example that a pitchfork deals d8 damage, which is the equivalent of a longsword, a battleaxe or a spear, and I certainly can see why. We DMs want our PCs, especially at 0 lvl, especially in DCC, to feel rewarded even upon finding a ...

1.)we house ruled that O level characters start off with at least 2 hit points. they usually die given any blow landed on them but it seemed ridiculous that they should die of a stubbed toe. ok, maybe there are some people out there, hemophiliacs or something, that will die of a goose bite, but con...

I like what you said, for a change of pace in campaign. E.G. The party heads to woods to fight and dispatch an evil witch. They fail and they all get turned into pigs, or charmed, or petrified. Why not send another 15+ 0-level people, as in a funnel, to try and win with numbers what skill couldn't a...

It could also be a winner if the optional rules are included in side notes, and then given an index number. This way a DM could tell his players "we're going to play with optional rules 12, 14, and 21." The players can then easily jump to the right page to find out he's talking about "...

Wow whats your caster level?

I shall use a scroll

Now... wouldn't this be a good time to cast "Calm Emotions" ??

On a side note, for those DMs that find themselves with players not satisfied with total randomness in char gen, i suggest this: Before Char Gen, the player can select one stat for which to roll 4d6, drop lowest, instead of 3d6. This way, those who'd really like to play a thief would get a chance of...

@abk108: The systems here that use the method of "roll 3d6 and gain +1 if the result is over your current value" help prevent characters with good stats from getting better. Rolling over a 15 is 1 in 6, over 16 is 1 in 12, over 17 is in 1 in 36 and you can't roll over an 18. Who is going ...

I still think the simplest, most elegant, most logical, and all around best solution is: your attack bonus/attack die only applies on attacks with weapons at you are proficient with, and there is no additional penalty for using a weapon you are not proficient with. Everyone starts out fighting like...

Hey we're all assuming that DCC characters will come out as a collection of negative modifiers. I'd say the average character is admittedly a vanilla 11-10-11-10-11-10, and that there will be many with lower scores... but there will be just as many with higher scores! With the proposed options for r...

Oh, i don't get why people don't like the funnel. I often decide to play a totally random PC in other games anyway, like I did just recently for WFRP... I rolled occupation twice and got scribe or app.wizard. My aim for that character is to become a powerful wizard. Therefore as occupation I picked....
