I was just wondering on what your attitude on PC's and the use of magic. Heres mine, as magic is seen as evil, comparitivly rare and deadly. For this reason i'm not letting charecters start as a scholor or multiclass into the scholor class unless they find a magical tomb or somesuch and spend...

Yes there would be ways around it, i'm just wondering would it be possible. As a starting GM i'm not letting the Chars start as scholors although if they do find the relevent tombs later on and wish to study magic i might be willing to let them. My NPC scholors, both malevolent and benign...

So does that mean you can? 1. using ritual and/or tortured sacricfice to buff up on power points 2. walk into the middle of ones adversaries 3. unleash a defensive blast 4. get power points for killing people with fiery death 5. go back to step 2 not that i myself would do this in a Conan...

In your opinion what would zingaran pirates use, an arming sword, utilisiling racial bonuses and finesse in compliance with the flashy sword play that zingarans are famed for, or the favored weapon of historical pirates every where, a cutlass with a basket hilt so that when fighting below decks...

is there anything specific out in the ocean west of zingara, because i was thinking of putting a sort of "treasure island" out there. I also wanted it to be guarded by some supernatural beings. The party will be around 3rd-4th level, any ideas?

How i do it, is every time some one kills something, does something useful or does a good bit of roleplaying, i put down a tally, at the end of the adventure/ session or when they go back to a town to rest up, i multiply that by a factor, detirmined by myself usually reflecting, difficulty...

I was DMing a session of conan the other day, and the story naturally ended up with a siege. The 1st level party did very well and held the gate house against all comers (mainly picts) and gained 2nd level by doing so. If the attackers had of been any better equiped or trained it would have...

I quite like low level gaming, and when i am DM (GM what ever) i am quite stingy with exp, esspiecially with new players, so that each player learns what his charectar is capable of at that level before progressing to the next. Not that high levels aren't good, i just think that players should...
