Re: House Rules We Love

The White Wizard was pretty cool and a lot safer for the character but seemed to lack the UMPH the Black Wizard player had. By the end of the game the White Wizard was looking at the black wizards spell list and drooling. It might be the player though,he loves to play the bad guy who is on the good ...

Re: House Rules We Love

The other ideas I'm knocking around are: Healing 3+level+con bonus per day, I got this idea from the Conan rpg but have not tried it. I guess it would help with healing over all but not a whole lot in the middle of a adventure. Heavy Alcohol drinks heal 1d4 hit points/or a set amount of hit points 1...

Re: House Rules We Love

I tried no clerics out this past week. I made a Wizards use Black Magic and created White Wizards who used clerical magic.

It was a lot of fun but the White Wizard didn't have as much fun as I thought he should have.

Still thinking on it

Re: Deed Die rolls

Brainstorming here. What if the deed die got rolled once per round and used as a total for that round? In other words the fighter with two weapons or multiple attacks rolls a 8 on his deed die and so uses 4 points towards disarm and still has 4 points left towards the second attack if needed. Just t...

My mom was just happy something shut me up and kept me quietly scribbling away in a notebook for hours and hours at a time.

Everyone can be dishonest and most thief abilities have been moved to the everyone can do list. Handle Poison and Backstab are not used unless by chaotic's,and I don't allow chaotic pc...

The Star Wars dice stickers gave me a idea.

Evidently the new Star Wars game uses strange dice nobody has. Instead of putting out the dice for the beta testers they get a book with a page or two of stickers that they can peel off and slap on normal game dice. This got me to thinking! DCCRPG could do the same thing. Slap 1,2,3 twice on a six s...

Re: All my funnel characters are dead, now what?

I'm almost certain there is a rule in there somewhere about a character getting a chance to be not dead if killed and then checked by a player. Now I guess it could have been in the beta and not in the finished rulebook and we never noticed. Let me go check in a few min.

Elven mail has half the penalty,it says so right on page *cough* of the rules.

After all if you are going to have Mithril in the game why not make it magical instead of iron for elves?

Necromancer games used to print a code in their modules. Then placed extras like maps and other stuff on the official site that you couldn't download without that code.
