Given how fast stats in Conan go up, I'm considering using less than DMG 25 point buy when / if I run the game. 15 14 13 12 10 8, by level 20 is 19 18 17 16 14 12 plus 5 more spread out between them (such as 19 18 18 18 14 12). In my opinion, there's no need for stat boosting like that as...

That's a false argument that lacks logic. It's a straw man. Such an option does not exist for a player, and if a DM makes it an option it's hardly a viable choice in a game where there is no counter compensataion to balance it out. The rest of your comments merely attack logic with the 'well I...

My reasons on the preference for point buy are here. If Conan has a higher point of balance than d20, I would just give more points. I find giving +1 to all stats over the levels 'forces' an acceleration in characters that may not be desired for a given character. The concept of the character...

http://www.accessdenied.net lists Conan, Conan OGL, and GURPS: Conan, I think it's Conan is the old Conan from TSR. You can ad yourself, and search on others. Conan OGL was only added to it's listings by me today. http://www.rpgregistry.com does not yet list Conan OGL, but I've applied to have...

TROS?

Not to start hot topic or anything, but what do people think of the methods used in Conan for stat generation. For me they seem to high and with too much acceleration. I've always prefered point buy, at 28 points no less. If I use Conan, I'll probably continue this. This however is merely a...

Having been a soldier I can tell you that we're not specially trained or given the mindset of spotting unless we are specially trained or given the mindset of spotting. It's not in the general training package. If you join special forces, get trained as a sniper, or something along those lines...

Under the rules for cover it mentions judging it by line of effect, which is never covered anywhere in the book that I've found so far.

Just act like it was. That way if they really intended insult they have to come out an be utterly blint about it. Respond with a little smiley faced 'world domination' type comment that comes across as clear as possible as if you had assumed they were making a joke. That's good advice for a lot...

Most likely I will place my order sometime monday night. So anyone wanting to get in on the discount email me today. Amazon is selling it for about $35, and if I refer you you can get roughly another 10% knocked off of that.

They've got a 'share the love' thing we could use to set up additional discounts for each other. Anyone interested? Drop me an email if so.

How hard would this be to do? I don't have the Conan book (is it even out yet, It's been about two weeks since my last game store visit) yet. But since I've been reading one form of Conan or another since I was 5 years old, you can consider me sold. I run a DnD game at present, and plan to...
