Does the battle system give players a lot of control over units with plenty of opportunity to get up close and personal, or is it pretty much totally run by the GM with pleny of opportunities for PCs on the wandering officer roll?

I'll probably pick it up. I have the first edition and could use a cheap tie in to the AE.

Well, I don't use maps and minis, though some of my players will set them up rather informally just to keep their heads straight. And we do just fine. Attacks of Opportunity take a while, but once you get used them it's hard to go back. They're just to interesting a combat option. If you...

What would a Mitra withhunter look like? As a protagonist it seems like something you would have to construct pretty carefully. Ditto for the kid, a demon spawn as a baby doesn't seem to threatening unless the real papa shows up to whisk it away in the final act.

It's good. I recommend it if you like d20 at all.

This is the Vagabond class. The table didn't make it, so here's some basic info. Bab is the minimum Conan level. Base dode and parry defense are at Scholar levels. They have a weak Fortitude save and strong Will and Reflex. The MAB is a stronger than normal but weaker than scholar. It has...

Ah, but the system is also neat. There are very specific classes for very specific types, and the helpful in combat essential elsewhere pulp type is not covered very well. I mean if you going to go so far as to put together a Borderer in addition to soldier, nomad, and barbarian I think you...
