You could do something similar to what Skull & Bones did from the d20 pirates: Increase healing rate dramatically.

Just the same. Next to the language name there will be a parenthesis with the number of the language rank, no parenthesis means fluent. An astrix after the name mean literate. For example: Aquilonian*, Cimmerian(1), Old Stygian(2)* I'm not sure what rolls you mean. The only rolls are the...

Midnight has something like what you propose here tarkhan. Languages have 4 ranks: None, Pidgin, Basic, and Fluent. Knowing a language in anything but Fluent imparts penalties on communication: None: -30 on Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Info, and Sense Motive; -5 on Intimidate. Pidgin: -5 on...

I agree that Sneak Attack shouldn't be for everyone. Sure if someone got his back to you and you hit him it'll hurt but you might not hit a good spot. On the same token, why not just make a feat, something like this: Sneaky Strike (or whatever) [General, Soldier] Prerequisites: Bab +1...

I pulled the Fate Point mechanic into my Midnight campaign when my PCs where about 4th-5th level... I let them roll a d3, that takes into account them having had some FP's but already having spent some of them... Turned out almost all of them had 1 FP if I remember coorectly. arnon

We use both rules, but as of yet (after three sessions) no one has gotten a chance to sunder a weapon due to equal attack vs. parry rolls.

I really like the Barbarian presented in the Conan RPG, I think it really captures what a Barbarian is, and would like to place it in my Midnight campaign instead of the normal D&D Barbarian. But is the Conan one tougher? It seems like it. What if I remove: Bite Sword, Diehard and...

dundrem: I think you are reading too much into the title of the name "Scholar" (after all, what's in a name? ). If I wanted to play an Archer I would probably take some levels in Soldier (and maybe also in Borderer), on the paper he'll be a Soldier, in my mind an Archer. Same goes with the...

On the Conan page it says April 2006

Just like the chance of scoring a Critical... but I think its logical too, the more dexterous one is, the more chances he/she will recuperate after a butch... Its a guide for more impressive and damaging Critical Hits. Depending upon your success in the Crit Hit, you roll for a body part, and...

I bought that one about two month ago, and am reading it little by little (if only I had some more time...). I must say i was a bit skeptic at first but I'm really enjoying the tales... arnon

I like to start at 1st level if its a new setting with new rules (it help to learn them that way), and on the whole i think its nice to start at low levels and slowly raise your PC higher. Personally I have never played higher than 10th level and it took us about 8 month to get there of once a...

I got a whiteboard with an un-erasable black grid, and three erasable markers (PCs, enemies, terrain). No matter how good I can describe an area at the start of a combat, it always nice to have a visual representation. As for AoO. I know some people who have dismissed them from their games (I...

I use a table from Torn Asunder (Bastion Press): In case of a fumble you roll a Dex check (DC 15), then roll on a table adding you Dex mod (max 4). Things from hitting ally, dropping weapon, lossing a turn, being dazed, etc.. I like it and its simple... which is important to me. arnon

I do not have Tower, but will it be terribly hard to scale it down for them?
