I took the example given in the BETA rules Cleric Blessing spell as an inspiration for a couple of home brew spells to make limited function Magic items. Take a look if you like via the link in my sig. The thing is its a damn good thing Clerics Can't spell burn normally as I can see a 1st level cler...

Great write up I thought. Just one thing stands out.

Are ALL elves hostile? If so how will Elven PC's fit in? As rebles/spies perhaps or did I misread something

Really I'll I was trying to do was put a few more steps and time in the "save vs. death" chain so that players could actually undertaking trying to save a poison or diseased character. I'm all in favor of that! "Save or Die" always struck me as a terrible game mechanic as you ha...

I'm not a fan of ability damage in general, so had the following idea for the effect of Poison/Disease: Each has Potency / Frequency / Lethality Potency is the DC for saving throws to avoid the effect. Frequency is how much time between saving throws. Typically the first is immediately upon exposur...

Finally got this set Inked when the back order came. For the idle curious here's a pic.

Yummy! Was there caramel or chocolate? Whipped cream? The way I learned to remember the difference between "dessert" and "desert" is the number of S es. Two Ses = two helpings of dessert, yum! One S = one helping of desert, which is the only helping you'll ever want because dry,...

Any tips for using a crayon? I couldn't really get it to work. I used a sharpie, but it looks kind of crappy, honestly. Also, I have a set of clear blue dice. What color would you recommend for those? I tried black but it's REALLY hard to read. I just "inked" up my set of Zocchi clear dic...

Well I did have to trim down one bump on the d24 as I said with a few strokes of a sharp knife (You can't sand Gem dice without destroying how they look) But that was about it. I have now Inked them which was laughably easy if a bit time consuming (lots of number faces ton this lot!) and that showed...

Adventure one "The Other side of the Coin" part One On the first day of the trek nothing much happened just a weary trudge through the dusty dessert. But towards the end of it the most observant PC did spot a few canine shapes in the distance apparently shadowing them. Their "Patrons...

Greets all! So earlier this week we got together at our new local gamestore (FCB Comics and games) And started a DCC playtest game/mini campaign. The group initially comprises of myself the store boss, my roomate and a workmate of mine that has never played aby P'n'P RPG before he joined the Demo Ga...

I wonder if players will feel much impact from ability damage, in general. Since the bonuses are more 'spread out' than they are in straight-up 3e, you could go from a 15 down to a 9 and not feel too impaired. In DCC, that's only a change of 1 to the modifier; in 3e, it would be a change of 3. Its ...

Just noticed that this double posted for some reason Apologies dunno what happened.

It's curious how we suggest opposite solutions to the same problem :D I like poison and disease to be feared much more than normal HP damage, so if HP heals quickly, poison and disease should carry over, unless cured by magical means! In literature, poison is dreaded by characters much more than it...

Thanks for the pic. I see 11 dice- how much were they? Well as I had to do things the flash way (always been a sucker for Gem dice) they were a good bit more than standard Zocchi's. Whats in the pic was $22 worth. With shipping it was $26 The "standard" opaque Zocchi's start at about $6 f...

I agree with the "Camper" problem brought on by too much attribute damage. I think in the light of that there should be a more rapid recovery in my games at least. Perhaps:- Fort save to avoid poisoning If failed take x d? damage to attribute. If that doesn't kill you. Make a save on the f...

So I got a set of Gamescience dice today, despite my misgivings. Not inked them yet but have inspected them carefully. Yes there was clear evidence of sprue clip here and there and the sapphire d20 seemed particularly bad but nothing that would hinder a roll most of the time. On one or two I noted h...

So I had occasion to need some stats for an ambush where the party was going to be attacked with poison arrows and as I couldn't see how Poisons were being handled in DCC Beta I made some up on the spot. They seemed to work quite well so I thought I'd throw them out here for comment. I have never be...

I'm inclined to agree with Abk108. I just am not sure that the rules state that clearly enough yet. There IS a part of me that could see why a player might wish to accept a crippled Luck roll for a while if they could get more Hps like this. If that was the players choice then I can respect it, the ...

As pointed out before, without the corruption system the entire Wizard spell casting mechanic comes apart at the wheels. That is the only thing from keeping a Wizard from being a spell casting machine. Had our first playtest last night (Write up will follow) Party's 1st level mage rolled nothing le...

As a university lecturer who has to go through the yearly cycle of feedback from students, may I remind everyone, as I do my students, that feedback doesn't mean just the perceived negatives. All too often people view "feedback" and "criticism" in a pejorative sense. Getting fee...

If any of the dice have rounded edges the're NOT Genuine Zocchi's. Old man Lou is almost paranoid about that. Zocchi dice have almost razor like edges as a rule ROFL. Personally I have always gone for Gem dice, I have yet to see a Gem with the marks you describe on yours in 20+ years of being in the...

One thing that just came up for me... Exactly WHAT dice rolls can Luck be spent on? I had a newly promoted 1st level thief ask if he could spend luck to make sure he got the full 6 hit points for his class level. After all having more Hps did indeed make the difference in a "life or Death situa...

I certainly wont order anything from them. Other companies can make quality dice- why cant they? I would dearly like to know which dice you ordered? Gamestation.net has Dice from at least THREE manufacturers that I can easily see on their web site. Chessex, Gamescience (L. Zocchi type) Armory and K...

Sorry to hear of you experience but..

THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP

I was considering getting some of these! Not a chance now I'll wait on Chessex to supply my local game store with some of the ones I want from their range.

Alright then folks what options can be on this chart then (other than the few I already proposed?) If its to fit with the customizing feel of DCC I think we need about 10 to prevent too many warriors being too similar. We need 3 more at the least.
