Odd to be so close but slightly off. Now I want to reverse-engineer the whole thing to figure out where I went wrong ... twice. :oops: No worries, finarvyn! The easiest way to get your number is to change "1/5000" to "1/500" for the level 4 NPCs. This discussion, especially your...

1. How did you handle "2-3 per epoch"? 2. When I crunched numbers I got a missing 1.68749% and wonder if you transposed a couple of digits. (I ignored the "epoch" dudes.) 3. Quick fix is to edit the first entry, 95% becomes 96.7% (or 96.68649% for the picky). It makes sense that...

As the title says, this is a "meaningless musing." That means that I'm not being serious, and the answer is not all that important. Nonetheless, I've had a long day, a good beverage, am relaxing by perusing the good ol' DCC RPG rulebook, and a question occurs to me. On pg. 359 under "...

Is that right? I was under the impression that, from what I recall from reading the book: several situations might lead to permanent luck loss all luck expended by non-thieves and non-halflings is permanent luck obtained at the end of an adventure is a permanent increase of the stat no rule says th...

I hear you on the spellburn, but would burning a minimum of 10 luck = comparable to minimum 10 spellburn? Ultimately, it's up to you: "Fear no rule" (p314). However, if you are trying to literally follow what is written then the answer seems likely to be "no," based on the reaso...

According to the rules, p.91 a character can burn Luck points before or after his roll. I'm unable to think of a single situation where a character would choose to burn Luck before his roll, given the choice. In order to improve drama at the table, I'm thinking of home-ruling that Luck points must ...

Since the class will appear in Crawl!, how about make use of previous articles: Bounty Hunter: Equally adept with lethal and non-lethal combat. Proficient with Bolas, Bullwhip, Lasso, and Net (from Crawl #2's "Killin' Time!"). Entanglement penalties are doubled on DCC page 78 if a Bounty H...

Both sets of folks will find it useful. Those wanting a more logical/less totally random result will be happy, and those just wanting a good selection of totally random and new Occupations will be too. I designed it to allow both approaches. Colin Agreed. Let me add that those that want to come up ...

Hi All, I'm Terry and started playing D&D with the bluebox in 1979. I "learned the ropes" from In Search of the Unknown and Keep on the Borderlands. However, I heard about an "Advanced" version of the game and wanted to get into that, so I moved on to 1E AD&D. Ah, the mem...

Oh, please do! I use your character generator a lot and would love to see that integrated. Thanks!

Welcome to the forums, Pesky. Great first post. :) I love the concept, but I can't help but wonder if there's a less math-intensive approach to reach the same result. Colin Thanks and thanks, Colin. Yeah, I realize that the scheme lacks the virtue of simplicity. There must be simpler way to do it; ...

This is a neat idea; I like it a lot. Kudos to the OP for sorting out the occupations by ability score! These tables can be useful as a base for other house-schemes. Here is an example. If one still wants a random element to the occupations ("Hey, I got that blacksmithing job because I'm so cha...
