I got the game yesterday, hopefully I will be playing it soon. The cards ooze theme, the rules are a bit simpler than WotR, first impression is positive. Luck is present, but not so terrible, you can influence dice results a lot.

Yes, i love that detail. EL published about 30 different gamebooks series back in the 80s and 90s and they had a different colour and simbol for each one.

This Thursday I was in Lucca for the yearly Comics and Games fair. The gates had just opened and right at the entrance, turning right, I saw Mr. Dever at the boot selling the new FFtD (the Italian version). Of course I bought it (despite me already having all the books of the old edition) and I...

very interesting, thank you!

Wait. If I take Monster Slayer, damage bonus from the power attack is trebled, not doubled (with two handed weapons). Isn't that right?

My emphasizing Soldier over Barbarian is due to a) better customizability of Soldier (though fewer skills) b) having another Barbarian in the group -> need to differentiate, e.g. one heavy tank (Caern) and one light (him) Please note that we are planning to stop at level 10 or so, therefore I...

See also part one for reference: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28312 My PC (name is Caern) is a Cimmerian, currently serving as a bodyguard to a prince (another PC) in search of his ancient heritage. He is regarded by his group as an effective fighter. Caern has a...

a good idea for level 9 then thanks!

I believe improved crit requires other feats like Focus, so that's possibly a bit complicated. I shall look into 2handed weapons... I shall think about it, definitely, at least as the solution for single tougher foes.

Two Weps Def is a no go, I will use 2 weps for attacking, if I need to defend I will use the shield in a normal way and keep attacking anyway, else I will flee :D I am not planning to use power attack unless I use a 2h weapon, which I am going to buy soon (a polearm), so don't worry about the...

Uhm. That's a good idea, by the way. I rather like it & I'll think about it.

No problem, it's an interesting discussion anyway. But, just to ask another question more "in-rule" rather than "in-role", does anybody know of any good feat for shield-bashers in the Conan supplements? I just have the basic manual.

> Maybe it is like coming to grips with his culture (like it was already mentioned) after ending up as an enemy with a civilized noble? that, and he was disgusted at being ordered to partake in the massacre of a defenseless small town full of women and children (he was a merc at the time)

rgrove: indeed, you're right that it should be skill/feats reflecting the PCs experiences, that's why I am choosing a class that follows better the vision I have of my PC; the feat tree I am planning is only an idea: shuold I be blessed with, for example, finding the legendary greatsword of so...

Reasons for choosing Soldier: I am a Parry type rather than a Dodge type; I am planning to wear heavier armour eventually, so I see him as a Soldier rather than a Barbarian; Background was more consistant with the Soldier class, and that was the main factor in my decision; Soldier class is more...
