DCC/MCC Clarifications

In Toronto Crawl Classics, MCC character classes use 1d20 as their base for Artifact Checks. DCC classes use 1d16. Classes specifically designed to interface with technology - such as Technologists, Technomancers, Weird Scientists, and, yes, MCC Shamans, use 1d24. AI Recognition rolls are unaffected.

The setting contains both humans and pure strain humans. If you roll up your characters using the MCC rules, pure strain humans are pure strain humans. Pure strain humans are not adept at magic, and take a -2d shift on the dice chain when making spell checks. However, they are immune to mutation and have Darwinian Luck. So there is that.

A note on AI Recognition rolls: Humans have the same +2 bonus as pure-strain humans. Halflings, dwarves, and elves, have the +1 bonus as though they were mutants without physical mutations. Other species have penalties of -1 to -4, or, in some cases, cannot succeed in an AI Recognition roll (as with plantients).
