As a 3rd level wizard with an intelligence of 13, he only needs to roll an 8 to blind the target if it fails a save, and a 14 to knock it unconscious if it fails 2 saves. Since the target has to make a save with a DC equal to the spell roll, the blinding save is at least a 20, which is tough to mak...

I seem to be in this situation where one of my players keeps using Color Spray to devastating effect. Everytime there's a Big Bad, he casts the spell, gets them unconscious, and bang, that's it, end of what would have been big interesting battle. Anyone else come across this problem? I know DCC is ...

I was not intending on adjusting the NPC/Monster's action die, only PCs. But after reading responses, I don't think it is practical. Right now there is DCC Lankhmar and DCC Empire of the East is very close to being available. DCC Dying Earth is within sight. If you wanted to do a DCC Cthulhu Mythos...

Have you tried a funnel with 0-level characters? It's a really interesting experiment especially players who are used to D&D. It has so many advantages but the main ones are: - Breaking the mold of previous RPGs (D&D). - It's easy to learn the game since you aren't using all the character a...

I would personally avoid doing something like that. While DCC doesn't follow the same kind of math as Pathfinder of WotC-era D&D, you would still be making those higher-HD monsters a lot tougher. The PCs hit less often, and need to do more damage. Combat would become a sort of slog. Remember tha...

An NPC caster (or monster) has the ability to do this, but wants something from you first. Eating the liver of a particular monster can restore 1d3 points of lost Stamina. Bonding yourself (via patron bond) to a particular being restores your health, it is said. A servant of that patron dwells in a ...

Enchiridion of the Computarchs is a great resource for Shamans. You can read about the preview following the link below, and the full version is now available.

1 (missfire) 2-11 (fail) 12-13 (+2 values above the fail threshold) 14-17 (+4 values) 18-19 (+2) 20-23 (+4) 24-27 (+4) 28-29 (+2) 30-31 (+2) 32+ ... At a guess, it is assumed that a character with an average attribute at 1st level has a 50% chance of success (+1 for level, succeeds on roll of 11+)....

Same.

Yes. And damage, both whether or not the Deed succeeds.

When I work on a 3pp project, I know that Goodman Games has to approve it. That makes the question moot.

IMHO, yes.

The purpose of calling out when modifiers do not change is, I believe, the assumption that they otherwise do.

Now that I think about it, this situation has come up and the way I ran it is that you can only roll 1 crit die, even if both attacks hit. The weapon damage bonus if using an appropriate weapon still applies, but that felt like a good middle ground. If the Thief was higher level and had 2 action di...

I see. The 4th printing spell description reads: This lengthy ritual prepares the caster to bond with a familiar. The familiar makes itself known during the ceremony 50% of the time; otherwise, the caster makes its acquaintance sometime in the weeks following the ritual. The spell check is made upon...

I would run it that you can Backstab with two weapons. Rolling a d16 as an attack puts you at a pretty big disadvantage as the average roll is 9, which is under most ACs. It can obviously be juiced up with Luck easily enough but that's a lot of resources going into a single attack: a round to get i...

As a general rule, the higher you roll, the more powerful the familiar.

However, alignment has an effect on what you get.....or, rather, what gets you.

Do whatever best makes the monster work for you. That can be an emulation of a PC ability, such as a Mighty Deed, or something completely our of your head. At the end of the day, what works for you is the only thing that is important. In terms of making DCC monsters, this may help: https://ravencrow...

In relation to the Man in the Green Velvet Coat, since he's immortal and is fond of humanoids but doesn't see them as intelligent, they are 'pets' in the same way as some folks consider their dogs and cats. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/151691/Patrons-Extraordinary-The-Unpretty-Preview-DCC-R...

Find art you prefer. Print it on fairly thick paper or tab stock, at a size that matches the images you find offensive. Then, image by image, replace the art. Well, that's clever and kind. Plus much, much better than post-its. Thank you for the actionable, effective idea. You are very welcome!

brief update: first session, with lots of yeti, went well! This was my "session 0" + intro to adventure. I clearly have a lot to learn, so that's humbling! and the players had a good time with the yeti + went gloriously off-script. I had to call a bio-break and brainstorm with mu husband,...
