My pony arrived in the mail yesterday. TBH I wasn't really expecting it as I didn't read through the terms of the Megadeal that closely. Not 100% sure where I am going to keep it...

I played in a very good Conan game, and i Think it works as a system much better than bog-standard D&D. But the game still ended up breaking down when we hit high levels, (In the same way our D&D games always do.) Basically like D&D I think its good for short and mid length campaigns, but not...

Yeah, the intro was huge ;o) As an old time player your sat there thinking, "Eek, I have been sat with this book for half an hour now and I haven't actually started the book proper!" Also I think it sets up the series a lot better. You really get a feel for who the Kai are, and who Silent Wolf...

Its going to be interesting to see how much they change. Book 1 has been rewritten pretty extensively, and there's quite a few changes in it that I would expect to be referenced later in the Gamebooks. Plus there seem to be a lot of new items added which may turn up again.

Sounds fantastic!

My copy is fine. In fact its a nigh-on indestructible brick of a book perfect for slaying Giaks.

Same here.

Received my book on Saturday. It's great.

Erm are you sure, I thought using Dex rather then Str is exactly what a finesse attack is.

I belive scimitars start at 18-20 x2, (3 numbers) so then go 15-20 (6 numbers) and 12-20 (9 numbers)

Not when your a pirate theres not, Killing a Foe in one blow mucks up my intimidate!

Dunno, I have fought several sorcerers who where very good in combat, I think the Sorcerers are weak in combat thing comes from peoples expectations in D&D rather than trying to build a Combat Shaman or Monk. Especially if said Sorcerer multiclasses. In fact imho one of the most broken things...

Or 10D6 damage every other round, or 15D6 damage very 3 rounds. Fight defensively, prolong the combat and blast your opponents to ribbons. And his Thralls can be absolutely anywhere, he can have them safe in Hyperboria while hes blasting people in Turan.

I hate to try and break up this delightful discussion, But actually the "Rule of the Master" + Defencive blast is way more broken than the "Opportunist Sacrifice" feat, at least you have to buy the feat.

You need to at the very least factor the possibility of crits into your maths.
