If I have a Pirate with Power Attack or something like Charge, can I use either of them when I declare my ferocious attack? For example, a level 2 with 13 str using power attack and a one handed weapon has the following with Ferocious Attack: (Ferocious Attack) +2 Init. for the first round +2...

I was always of the opinion that it should be done Mini-series style, a-la Shogun. M.

Wouldn't that be a Sunder? M.

Two quick questions: 1) The duration for Raise Corpse says "Concentration + 1d6 Rounds". Does this mean the base concentration check (Ranks + Ability + Misc Mods) or does the sorcerer have to make a check? Does he have to concentrate each round? In either case it doesn't look like these...

So in the Argos and Zingara book, I discovered the Zingaran school of fence. I have not used it yet, and I'm not exactly a top analist so I can't really say how crunchy it is. Don't have the book here at work, but I've been meaning to start a diologue on it for a while now. I know Howard kept...

You know, that's a very good point. M.

I read through the sorcery section of the main rule book just now. I saw a few spells that do HP damage, but I didn't spot any that fell into the traditional RPG direct damage projectile spells - the magic missiles, acid arrows, firebolts and the like. Could be that I missed them, however - it...

Hasn't come up in my games yet. I think there is a rule regarding resizing in the main rule book, but I can't look it up at the moment. There was, in the later middle ages, a thing called munitions armour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munition_armour Basically it was a mass produced bit of...

Indeed. He is little more than an abnormally strong and tough person carving himself a slice of the world. He does not put on airs, does not try to give us some kind of "black and white" hero. This is why he's interesting. "Conan is the damnedest bastard there ever was." about sums him up. M.

Well, he certainly falls into the "gray" category from what I've read. The Conan 'verse in general lacks an absolute good to aspire to, so it generally seems to fall into simply "What's good for me and those of mine". While Conan will keep his word unless double crossed and will help those he...

The Background feature for the scholar pertains to their magical knowledge. In any of the splat books is it covered regarding a replacement (feat, skills, etc) for this when creating a non-magical Scholar? Seems most pertinent to NPC's (slightly OCD about completionism) but it would also be...

In my slightly alternate Cannon (as every game session would be), one of the islands far off the coast of Zingara (rulebook mentions some) is inhabited by Khitai outcasts, which have very limited contact with the Thurian continent (mostly Messentia). One of the ship captains is unscrupulous and...

Thanks. Sort of what I'm chasing - pretty much starting as a run away dirt farmer who is a bit of a scumbag (hat optional). I'd probably inevitably end up as a Thief, unless I get caught up in something else. Basically I am playing the role of a minor mook, the kind you meet as an encounter...

In an effort to see how others DM (having never really been a player in any d20 game), I am working to get a friend of mine (a player in a Conan d20 game I DM'd) to run a game in which I am a Zingaran Commoner who works as a porter/dock worker and occasionally as a knife-man (murderer for hire)...

That's because you're not splitting planks. M.
