Point Blank Shot: would the +1/+1 apply to throw weapons as well Yes Quick draw: would it be a free action to sheeth a weapon as well No, Move EQ

I think that using a FP to avoid a devastating blow falls neatly under the Destiny column of uses. Remember, use of a destiny FP isn't only limited to the examples in the book -- it can be for anything. And by no means does this make one invulnerable -- I can be whittled down over time and our...

There's a line in The Black Colossus (I can look it up later unless Vince is at home) where Conan looks out at the Stygian sorcerer's troops and said something along the lines of a sorcerer being deadly at close quarters or when trapped. If I recall correctly, this was the flavor text that was...

Very devastating IMO but it's part of the fun of the game. In my experience it's better to use your fate point to avoid the blow all together and stay on your feet than to be left for dead. Once a player falls, the others tend to go down more quickly. For example, I was in a brawl about a...

Road of Kings is a great resource with a comprehensive overview of the Hyborian Age. Scrolls of Skelos will provide you with a much more in-depth view of Sorcery. A Dark Power which plays a constant role in every REH Conan adventure -- key to an adventure and probably the most difficult rules...

I say we stomp him! Then we tattoo him! Then we hang him! And then we kill him! "I say we let him go."

The skill of marching in step became vital to the movement of large forces overland. I think I read that the Romans were the first to train their troops in this. It allows columns of troops (even several miles long) to move at a constant speed.

Lemme start by saying I hate rules; they do nothing but complicate a good game. Also, I don't have the Atlantean Edition. What is the current RAW? The original Conan book sez (pg171): "Taking [a] 5' step doesn't provoke an AoO unless it is combined with another action in the round." This...

I'll be there Thurs- Sunday as well but have a very heavy schedule (albeit flexible) -- perhaps we can use the Mongoose booth as a meeting spot. Someone could schedule a game there and folks could sign up -- that might be easiest.

In D&D you could easily -- but in Conan? Dunno -- not very Conanesque. Certain items could cause curses like the one recieved but it would be an inherent property of an item and not something that could be subject to a Disable Devices. Of course, you're new to the Conan RPG and quite...

Lots of people have suggested using the Scholar class without magic -- it's legal to take feats instead of sorcery styles. With his multitude of skills, you will end up with a more traditional monk -- not a Kungfu master but a sage man who has skills in battle if he's ever forced to it. Don't...

Allow me to decode your secret message: It's OK, we all understand the stress it can bring on . . . we're all friends here . . .

A wonderfully Pictish adventure. Other than thinking through possible outcomes and how you'll deal with them. It's a nicely formed idea. Will your players be experienced enough to know not to kill a Pict while hunting? This would be a good opportunity to learn that lesson! Also, remember...

Wow, guess I should remember to use more smilies in my posts. Please understand that the "on your asses" comment was merely me being playful, not acerbic. I have tendency to voice my opinions strongly but it doesn't mean that I'm irritated. In fact I was quite enjoying myself. :D

Well, I'll let the rules lawyers argue over that -- the feat wasn't intended to negate DR's minimum damage of 1. Fact is, even if it did, 1hp doesn't amount to a hill of beans and poses no threat to a PC. So even if it did negate it, it's not unbalancing or "abusive" in the least. PC's with...
