I decided to do some comparisons between the DCC monsters in the beta and existing monsters. I used LL/Basic for comparison since that's what I had on hand, although if the designers had a specific starting point for monster stats that was different that would obviously change things. 19-LL AC seems...

The only reference to secret doors right now is that elves get a +4 bonus. I hadn't noticed this earlier, and had just been using a D6 roll. I'm assuming that's a reference to a skill check? If so, what would the standard DC be? 15 seems about right, and it seems like it could be either a luck or in...

I totally agree that corruption and invoke tables will be best if custom built. I could use a little more guidance, though. What kind of power levels make the most sense? What non-combat results fit different levels of success? Maybe seeing the King of Elfland table would be enough, though.

I was able to run a second time with one of my players, who turned his level 0 jeweler into a cultist. He rolled up rope work, patron bond/invoke patron, spider climb, and ward portal. The mercurial magic was really fun: his rope work turned out to be a psychic focus, so he cast that before some of ...

Quick report: I ran some more B3 with one of the players yesterday, advancing one of his level 0s to a level one and bringing some hirelings. This led me to convert the young and adult cave bears from that module on the fly. I think that the +1 dmg per hd felt like too much, at least for me. I did i...

FWIW I've always liked the % thief skills. Couldn't say why though, so perhaps that's not too helpful.

Not having penalties at 0 was really fun for us last night, and I love getting to say "You are equally incompetent with all weapons." In the context of the level 0 pitchforks and torches it feels right.

Just a quick note to say that I had a random skeleton encounter last night, and the chart that goes with that monster entry made it really fun. I had a couple with special touches, although that didn't play out since they killed the level 0s they hit immediately. I did have two of the +1hd, +3 atk, ...

My read on that was that you heal the crit effect next time you are at full HP.

Just ran the beta rules last night in B3, and we had a blast even without getting to try out the level 1 rules. The players really sunk their teeth into the level 0 occupations. Most of the monsters they came across are already in the beta rules, but a few weren't and I just ran them as written in B...
