Castles & Crusades ~ Character Repository

[damned]

I just finished creating an entire party and was trying to compare AC to some of these Pregens. I have a few questions. One why do helms offer more to AC than the armor does. Two none of the PCs I looked at so far have very High AC, one character does have AC 18. Do you (all) limit the availability of armor at game start. or maybe your PCs couldn't afford them? last question I can think of, All shields (save one) offer AC 1. I imagine many DMs may use the size to mitigate damage over a larger area but I'm not really sure where to begin or why to carry the weight of a larger shield.

its old school DnD not Pathfinder

Armour definitely offers more AC than Helms do.
Small shields only offer AC against one opponent.

From the PHB:

SHIELDS
Every shield has a +1 modifier to armor class, but the size of
the shield determines how many opponent’s the +1 modifier
applies against. Small shields only offer the adjustment against
one attacker, medium shields against two attackers and large
shields against three attackers.
HELMS
Armor Class adjustments for helmets apply to strikes against the
head only, they do not otherwise adjust armor class.

Now that I think about it, the characters I submitted were made before that big update that brought C&C from archaic ruleset to the nice package we have now... wouldn't surprise me if some of the stuff didn't link properly now.

Thank you all for the replies. Especially Andraax, those quotes was exactly what I was missing.

I am considering merging these pregens (and some more that I just added) into the Community Content module (which also has a big update coming soon) so everything is right there.

Thoughts?

Good idea. Make it a one stop for additional value.

Ok done!

Consider this module deprecated. All further additions will go into the Community Content module.
