NOTE: I run low level games(1-5) so take that into consideration when using these)
Healing
Strong drink 1 /day heals d4+L HP
Second wind You catch your breath and rest for 1 combat round gain D4+L HP and +2 to AC for round
Bind wounds Heal D4 plus L HP once a day 3 round action, additional binding in same day cures d2
Stat generation
1)roll 3d6 in order
2)If you roll one or more 16s you may swap two stats
3) if you do not get #2 you may replace two of your stats w/ a 15 and a 13
4)You may declare your character "Hopeless" and roll again, this time you may only replace one of your stats w/ a 15
5) If you really, really want to you can roll again and replace one of your stats w a 14 (now your stuck)
6) Wisdom is min 8
Luck
Luck is determined by D4 +7
Fighters
- get 3 specializations to start (I've got a bunch of them coming)
- get d6 +3 HP per L
Sorcerers
Patrons
(this idea is a work in progress so will be prob fiddled with)
In keeping with the traditions of S&S literature, patrons are the source of your magical power. Patrons take many forms. Remaining angelic beings, very minor demigods,.liches, and Others, Specific advantages and disadvantages will be in the description of specific patrons (below, coming) all must be apeased and sacrificed to.
As a cool RPing hook your spells verbal components can be invoking the name of your patron.
If you have no Black magic in any of your spellbooks you can cast 1 add'l cure per day
Corruption
Again as the players will be spending a Loooong time at first and low levels,corruption is calculated normally then the percentage roll is 1/3rd of actual total
Cantrips
add 4 Cantrips from list to your spellbook
Sorcerers cast 6 cantrips at first l then one add'l cantrip at odd L
2 of the beginning cantrips are Permanently chosen and may be cast 4/ day , one can be changed each time you gain a Level
As cantrips are very weak they do not attract Others nor do you gain Corruption from them
(lists to follow)
(more to come)

Patrons(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
There are 3 types of patrons Jealous, Major and Petty. at the start of your char you may pick 1 Jealous or Major or 2 Petty. If you pick a Jealous Patron you may never gain another. Major Patrons allow you to gain Petty Patrons also. You may have any number of Petty Patrons as your Major allows or if you just choose Petty you can have as many as the Keeper allows. Patrons are NEVER gained as a result of Level advancement, they must be found and courted as the keeper allows. Changing Jealous or Major Patrons is a highly dangerous process and should be STRONGLY discouraged ( at the VERY least it should involve gaining of MANY corruption points. You may drop Petty Patrons unless the individual Patrons description says otherwise, 1d8 Corruption points are gained.

Yes C&T is an OD&D clone based on S&W(To be honest I don't see the S&W in it,as I am now familier w both) The system is 60% Conan/40% Lovecraft all OD&D, all my update can be found through the above link because I'm getting WAY more traffic on the other site. Plus that site is sorta the home of D101 games and thus C&T, C&T has very unique systems for saving throws and sanity(these were the main selling point to me.) I'm working fromthe beta and am in doubt due to my finances that Im going to be getting the compleated rules anytime soon(The Remastered version is late and not out)

Right on, thanks. I'm a huge fan ov both HPL && REH, so this kind ov thing appeals to me. Matter ov fact, i will be adding elements ov both literary mythos to the Aerth campaign, when i get to the (A)D&D "layer": kinda like layers in photoshop. Layer 1 is Epic ov Aerth, Layer 2 is Theslo of Qualon's thread, Layer 3 is data from the Dictionary of Mythology, Layer 4 is references to (A)D&D material. (Both the stories of REH && HPL take place on a kind of "fantasy Earth", and, Aerth is basically Fantasy Earth). Next question: is there a setting yet for C&&T? Prespos Ps. Just an idea: it might be helpful to organize your House Rules according to the chapter organization of C&&T. Ps2. Congrats on the extra traffic! |

There is a sketchy setting in the coming rulebook but I don't much care for it overall, can't really put my finger on exactly what I don't like about it, I'm going with my own version when I get to the "end "of my current game(I plan on this being the campaign I stay with till if and when I stop RP(which at age 56 and still with 2 players of over 30 yrs seems unlikely)
