Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game Ruleset - Bug reports, feedback, etc..

I just realized that ruleset already supports changing (edit: I should say 'adding' as it doesn't remove any existing damage type) Damage Type with an effect - e.g. DMGTYPE: slashing. While it certainly has limitations I'll find it useful during games when I'm adding mobs to the combat tracker that I haven't set their damage type yet.

Using the latest SRD as a guide, I can configure the ruleset to provide a damage type for most cases when necessary. DCC spells rarely include an energy type in the damage clause, which is sometimes a problem. Scorching ray is obviously fire damage, but choking cloud creates an acidic, poisonous cloud. So, is this acid or poison damage?

[Tabarkus]

Both? You can multitype but then resistance or immunity to either type is fully effective, so... IRL the damaging types of acid are consider poisonous but the reverse is not true. I love the "rulings not rules" aspect of DCC but it does make it challenging to translate into code.

Yeah, there's no reason it couldn't be both. I thought it as like mustard gas. Suffocating toxic and burning

I think the truest representation of DCC is to leave them out of the base ruleset but allow GMs and players to add them if they want. The damage type effects are there if you want them and harmless if you don’t. It feels too heavy-handed for me to decide for everyone.

Optional extensions that you sell for $$millions$$? )

[leozelig]

Yes, definitely!

I could make a module for weapons with basic damage types, but players can easily enter these in their weapons list. Goodman Games wanted a system that "plays like a 1974 game" (Appendix R, page 447). They would probably call this a "blank" space on the map for GMs to fill.

Hey, I just bought the Hubris PDF and was wondering if it was possible to modify and add to the occupations table so that it works with r/funnel and how to do it. Or would it be possible to make an extension so that a custom command like '/customfunnel' can be used?

[leozelig]

It’s possible to make an extension. I can share the script that runs the /funnel command if you decide to try. You would need to create the occupations table for Hubris and link everything to that (occupations and items).
