It's pretty huge if a shield gives an *additional* +2 to AC.

Yes. A third of the book is spells, then there is a double page spread on skills. A double page spread! This is a bold, deliberate and amusing design choice.

Okay, so I thought I would share a couple of examples showing how DCC's quirky rules create opportunities for the dice to tell the story in interesting ways. I love the fact that what we essentially have in DCC is a super-lite rule system with a variety of tweaks and tables that make for some great ...

Some published modules list +1, + 2 etc shields (e.g. Doom of the Savage Kings has a +1 buckler and the +2 Lion Shield). Do such items confer those bonuses to AC or shield attack rolls, or do they only confer the listed benefits (e.g. Lion Shield's Will Save bonus) with the modifier otherwise confer...

Thanks all - for the info and for the sympathy!

I will look out for the PDF. Presume there is a fairly good stretch until the deadline?

Hi, I am in the UK and no-one for miles around is participating in free RPG day. Apparently my local store got left off the list. So no free module for me :o( However, I am even more disappointed that this seems to exclude me from the module design competition. Any way that part of the free rpg mate...

I agree, I like it for flavour. It is great to know that a character is a seventh son, for example, whether this confers a bonus or not.

I am much obliged indeed.

What does the max spell level on p.18 mean and how does it interact with wizard and elf class max spell levels. Are the levels on p. 18 the maximum level cap on spells that the wizard can learn ever, or are they the maximum level of the additional spells known at level one? In any case, if I have In...

Portal under the stars mentions the danger of drowning. Are there rules for this anywhere? If not, how are people handling this please?

I have encountered some disagreement as to whether this is an error or not, but it is certainly not clear, so I will post here: Do we track the change in luck bonuses for e.g. fumble modifier, when players burn and gain luck? I know the luck bonus for special ability is fixed at level 0, and I thoug...

Thanks for this everyone. I appreciate this has already been thrashed through before, and I think my key issue is resolved: I want to be playing the game how it is meant to be played, and I am prepared to be swayed by what is clearly a majority interpretation. We will change the luck mod for critica...

Hmm... Well that note in the mercurial magic section is also misleading in that case. Why point out that it is the luck mod at the time of learning the spell?

Any news please on when the writers' submission guidelines will be available?

Would be good to hear from GG on this?

Hi all, I'm sure this has been asked before but: Do we track the change in luck bonuses for e.g. fumble modifier, when players burn and gain luck? I know the luck bonus for special ability is fixed at level 0, and I thought this applied to all uses of luck, but then I read on p110 that for mercurial...

Okay two things: (i) perhaps not spambox, most likely my own email incompetence was what was at fault here. In any case, I have received swift and personable service from GG. Thanks very much indeed! (ii) more importantly, I now have the PDF. It would be most accurate to describe me as doubly, rathe...

Apparently I'm too much of a newb to pm? Can that be right?

Reposted on advice - I'm happy to have the other thread deleted... I have been excited about the full rules for a very long time! I ordered it so long ago that when the packahe arrived last week from USA I had no idea what it was. VERY pleasant surprise, and I have already started playing with my gr...
