Re: My Skill System - seeking feedback
This was a good read and well presented. I would suggest that for zero levels you allow a single skill point and that it strongly be limited to their profession/background. For example, unless the character starting background was as a bandit or a hunter I would not allow stealth. Too much powergami...

Re: DCC protects against railroading … but can it do a sandb
Nobody else seems to like my approach of making spellburn take time to mitigate its use in combat. The more points you use the longer it takes. Right now I am hovering around at 2 points/caster lvl per action die.
But on the original topic, I don't see why DCC RPG does not work with a sandbox.

Re: Limits to Spell Burn?
I place limits to spellburn in combat, I'm not 100% settled; I was thinking that a wizard can spellburn 2 points per action die. The process takes time! If you want to spell burn ten points as a first level wizard it is going to take you 5 rounds to cast that spell. Isn't this a little like saying ...

I prefer the d7 as a d14 numbered twice, a d3 as a d6 numbered twice, and a d5 as a d10 numbered twice. But the koplow stuff is just so huge! If there would make them in a smaller size that would be much better.

Re: god writeup templates?
Thanks, Zu-Jarris has a spell list too! Believe it or not I am sick of waiting for a pantheon to be published so I am in the process of writing up the Roman pantheon! I don't know if it will be of much use to folks. I am still gathering information on the 20(!) main gods and am sorting it all out.

Re: Question: Thieves, Luck & Death
I'll try to be more clear using the same example: Character's luck is 10. He needs a 10 or lower to make his luck roll. He rolls a 16 on the die for the recover-the-body to work. He has nothing to lose, so the character burns 6 luck. 6 points of burnt luck are used to modify his roll from 16 to 10 ...

Re: Alternate Barbarian
I think this is a pretty good example of what a Barbarian in DCC might look like, good work to whomever did the write up. So, counting the Orc that makes three varieties thus far. It's very interesting to see new ideas like these. http://skylandgames.wordpress.com/2013/07/29/simply-barbaric-the-dcc...

I dislike it when characters are talking numbers. They should be asking "Who here is strong?" rather than "Who has a STR bonus".
