I guess I am referring to technology in general. What level is the Hyborian world at. Is it a bubble of technology advances that got lost over the ages until it was "refound". I would like to know since I don't know what is realistic in putting into the gaming world for my players. Vincent?

I would like to start a discussion concering the technology level of Conan. I understand that it is a "fantasy setting" but it is also based on a rough estimation of Earth history. Why is certain technology allowed in Conan that hasn't been invented yet. For example the Saddle wasn't invented...

Yes, here is how I interpet it: 1) You can move up to your speed 2) You can make a standard action attack 3) You do draw an attack of opportunity from anyone that you move through their threaten square - that includes the target 4) You cannot combine it with charging or other full round actions...

This might have been posted before but I couldn't find it. Is Sneak Attack Damage affected by Damage Reduction of Armour or creatures? For example a bow is used (not using Ranged Finesse) as a sneak attack and does 2 points of damage + an additional 2D6 of sneak attack equally 8 points. The...

How does it compare to the Martial Disciple class shown in S&P? Don't know - haven't seen that yet.

This has been a subject of debate amonst my group for years. Here is what I have tried to implement and with some level of success. Instead of telling them the results I have give them a description of the event and let them know that there is some positive or negative effect to them. I don't...

I had a character play a Khitai Soldier / Scholar. Which ended up being a Khitain Monk. I took some of the Oriental Feats and transferred the ones over that made sense. I also changed the choke maneuver to be more powerful (that is in an old thread) and got rid of the choke feat. Let me know...

Sutek - I completely disagree with your concepts and gaming style. Raven - I like your system and will become my house rules. In general, there is no STEEL armor in Conan. It's mostly just a variety of leather some minor metal protection in specific spots. I think claws deserve a AP 1 + Str...

Trodax - I could not agree with you more. I must have spent an hour just trying to figure out the darn layout from the description. I also agree with your assessment of Scenario #2. But overall - I was very impressed and happy with my purchase. I just hope that they are able to have a better...

Totally agree. Was HUGELY disappointed in the maps within Tales of the Black Kingdom. There definetly seems to be a trend within Mongoose on poor map development. I use props for my games and the map of the Ziggurat in the second scenario of the Tales of the Black Kingdom is forcing me to...

I think we are getting finesse mixed up with whether claws should have armor piercing value. Again, not for what would be more "effective" but for general consideration.

Sneak attack IS NOT A FULL ROUND ACTION. It is extra damage dice given to an attack. It's a special ability to do "precise" damage per attack.

I only play once a month but we play all day on Saturday (10:00 to 10:00). I actually have 2 people making a 3 hour drive to play (one in Seattle area and the other in Bend, OR). Let me know if you are still in.

This forum went way further than I thought. There is a choke feat in Oriental D&D 3.5 and it only lasts 2 rounds. They get a Fortitude saving throw each round after the first, which gets progressively more difficult. Once they fail they pass out. I think I am going to have to make this a...

Portland, Oregon. Sheesh - no one plays this here in the Northwest? I have a group of 5 but I am looking for one more...
