I assume the DCC War Hammer has morphed from the oversized claw hammer of the D&D world to an oversized Lump Hammer hence the change to D8 but does anyone know the reason for that decision?

Well no because that still leaves me with agile PC's retaining an a/c advanage that logic tells me they should not be enjoying

Thanks everyone :) We're in the middle of some adventuring in Frog God Games Lost Lands setting, using the Blood & Treasure rules, but when we have a natural "break" in that campaign, I'll throw them into "Sailors". My lot took to it like a duck to water, it was like the fir...

I don't like the fact that there is no advantage attacking someone who is already engaged to their front, from behind unless you are a Thief. I could just rule that nobody gets their Agility modifier but that's clanky because either those with negative modifiers effectively lose nothing in compariso...

I've a question concerning this spell. Isn't too much powerful? You can paralyze (hold) every sentient being that means basically everything from humanoid to slimes, undead or dragon. There is not even need that the target understand the language spoken as it works also on animals So basically it c...

Excellent; player learns a lesson in why magic in DCC is Dangerous

The dice chain doesn't go any lower than d3 in the rule book, but I calculate punch and kick damage with even lower (imaginary) dice: d2 d1 d1/2 d1/4 d1/8 Punches & kicks cause damage determined by Strength: Strength 3 does d1/8 damage (1 in 8 chance of doing 1 point) Strength 4-5 does d1/4 dam...

My Elves use Bronze -1 a/c for armour, -1 die damage for weapons. Bronze costs double the price of iron/steel This does not include blunt weapons (should an Elf be using one; funnel competence or whatever) and I allow arrows and Javelins to do full damage but I don't allow them to be recovered as th...

All good stuff; I like to get the resting stuff sorted out PDQ too

Another thing to consider bringing up with your Judge is that "unholy" doesn't necessarily mean "of opposed alignment". It could mean "anything my God hates". From a roleplay standpoint, it stands to reason that your God will help you punish his enemies regardless of t...

I am currently working on comparing the Cleric class from various versions of D&D to DCC Cleric. I am working with AD&D Player's Handbook and AD&D 2e Player's Handbook before I get my copy of 3e from Amazon. I have access to 3.5. Ultimately, I would like to dope out a path from 0 Level ...

This weekend (While my daughter was in her Ballet and Tap claases :? ) I started tabulating he number and total levels of spells at each level and STAT point for the Cleric, Wizard & TA Witch (Which I intend to modify and adpot; I like a good Withcy women :D ) and although I only got half way th...

I would love to see some folks do conversions of some of the classic modules for DCC purposes at least for those of us who are not as good at converting things on the fly. That's an interesting thought. In an ideal world without copyright issues, wouldn't it be neat to have the old TSR monochrome m...

I prefer race as class but you can certainly play it your way; we all do one way or another

Can I burn luck down to 1? Or is the minimum luck score 3? There are no stat modifiers below 3 so that is probably not what was envisaged. You could do it I guess but absolutely everything that could go wrong will now go wrong to that character and if it was me your stat modifier would be -4 for LU...

I know a few of these have been brought up before in other threads but it can be difficult for newer folks to find said threads to read..... So, put forth before the table a few questions that have come about over the last batch of sessions...... Bonus Spells. Just Wizard, or Wizard AND Elf. That b...

Well. on table 1-1, it specifically says personality for clerics on the max spell level section, so if clerics got bonus spells it would mention it as well. As for the wizard spells known, it would appear that this table applies when you are level 1, so it would be 1st level spells that you know wh...

Is this a beta PDF or a full 4th edition?

So to get 30 on a D20+3 (3rd level) with an average roll and lets assume a +1 INT bonus and average Luck etc you would need to spellburn 15 or 16 points just to give you a 50/50 chance of a 30+ for every spell you cast and you would be weaker than a fish for a long time. That's my experience here :...

In my group of 6 players two are wizards. Both are level 3 and their class seems to be the most powerful in game. Their spells own monsters with no other classes coming close to the wizards damage. I mean with the ability to use Luck, Spellburn, add their level and int modifiers they are getting 20...

I like one set per person and in different colours; mine are black although annoyingly I can't find a black Jumbo D14

I feel like the list is restrictive, and the nature of this campaign are both combined to make a less than optimal situation. Edit: Just taking a loot at the list for each: Law: un-dead, demons, devils, chaotic extraplanar, monsters, chaos primes, chaotic humanoids and dragons Neutral: animals, un-...
