Re: DCC Halfling only class that's worse than Basic D&D source

@BanjoJohn: Exactly. That’s where my 12% to autohit at least once per round comes from.

@Jim Skatch: Yeah, ask Joseph; I will not be at Gary. Stephen Newton was also at the table, as was Steve Bean. That’s the limit of my memory, I’m afraid.

Re: DCC Halfling only class that's worse than Basic D&D source

I’m super late to this party, but I figure I’ll still throw in a few coppers. In most cases, the halfling is perhaps not as an inspiring combatant as the warrior or dwarf, but not all cases. For those interested in the efficacy of the halfling combatant, you may find the following noteworthy: Given ...

Re: Stomp the typo / Errata & FAQ

I'm not certain of the original intent, but for the Nehwonian Greater Corruption (p. 28 of Compendium) there are still some vicious results for low rolls (results 1 and 5, for example). So, a -2 isn't necessarily welcome.

Re: the 7th printing. Is there anywhere that lists the changes from the 4th printing. I noticed the addition to pg. 106 which is pretty major: "When your character casts a spell, you roll 1d20 and add your caster level, and apply your luck modifier . This is called a spell check. You also add ...

@jon_lollard, here is Joseph's response regarding 4d20, "It’s deliberate. It’s just a weird result…after all, it’s on a table about weird magic." With that being said, don't forget the rulebook's first admonition, "The judge is always right. Let the rules bend to you, not the other wa...

Re: Stomp the typo / Errata & FAQ

I think I found a misprint in the MM effects table. Result 00 says to roll 4d20 twice. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be 5d20. I think that "Roll again twice, but instead of rolling d%, roll 4d20 modified by the wizard’s Luck adjustment (in increments of 10%)" is intended; however, I...

Re: Stomp the typo / Errata & FAQ

Page 85, 4th edition (softcover): Heading for table reads "Crit Table IV: Level 3-4 warriors, and Level 4-5 Dwarves" The number '5' in '4-5 Dwarves' isn't using the normal font used elsewhere for all the other tables, including other 5's printed elsewhere. Very minor :) Noted, and thanks!

Hi everyone! I think I've detected either a typo or a missing spell result. It's the wizard spell Locate object, level 2. Results 22-25 and 26-29 are exactly the same, both in the first and the third printing (the ones I have). If it's on purpose, why not grouping these results in just one? Thanks ...

Re: Spells FX overlap

At my table, FWIW, it usually depends on the spell. Generally speaking, if a spell has a mechanical bonus then a repeated casting replaces it on a given person (if it pre-exists) rather than stacking, i.e., it can go either up or down. If the spell creates a thing, then multiple things can exist (th...

I vote for "thumb tabs like on a dictionary; spiral-bound stay-flat binding hidden inside the hardback binding." Both of those seem extremely helpful at the table.

Do clerics get random starting spells like a wizard? Or do they have access to all cleric spells like in most fantasy RPGs?

Re: How do y'all handle lvl.1 Elf armor?

FWIW, I allow elves to purchase their first set of mithril armor at the cost of normal armor. I usually make a story or hook out of it, such as a local smith agreeing to repair a slightly damaged set of mithril armor for the aforementioned cost if the elf has done or will do some service. This way i...
