While the weapons tables are bad, they aren't totally unsalvageable. The majority of the weapons HAVE been updated ... in Arms of Legend. (and the throwing rock was found in Vikings of Legend) Arms of Legend does not include stats for the following weapons: Belaying Pin, Boarding Axe...

What is your plan to handle the actual feint? The player gets an actual sense motive check to defend against being feinted. Sure, you could make your roll in secret and let him wonder if he actually detected the feint, but he point of the check is to actually resolve for him that, yes, he did...

S4, here are a few reasons i can think of: While, Argos is considered a "civilized" land, that does not mean the entire land is "civilized". Don't confuse "Civilized" land with "entirely mapped out land. Yes, ancient towns would have been spaced about 10 or so miles apart, but the entire...

I am going to disagree with you for a couple of reasons, that kind of tie in together. The main reason is that river travel is normally done over flat land ... which Cimmeria is not. I have always based Cimmeria off of the highlands in Scotland. And while the highlands have rivers, they also...

Look up information on The Silk Road. At 40BC you had the Chinese doing trade with the Roman Empire, who's touch spread all the way to England, while performing trade with the Moors coming up from Africa. Now, these were specific envoys and traders with specific goals and destinations in mind...

My takeway from this is that your typical Cimmerian is utterly unlike Conan. They are content to be left on their grey hills. They drink naught but water, never seeking a better life, but will repel with utter ferocity those who come within their territory. I would say that they do come...

I believe that's because the original author of The Spider-Gods Bride, Morton Braten, never actually spelled that out when he created SGB for d20. Looking at the original, he did spell out the races when he did that, but when he made his change to Pathfinder he adopted the primitive, nomad...

Magic is more ... subtle in Conan. Yes, a lot of the more offensive spells are Evil Eye range, but there are a few listed in the core book with further range. Mass and Ranged Hypnotism. Summon beast has a range of a mile. Flames of Agni (from Secrets of Skelos) has a medium range. But most...

It actually syncs up pretty easy. One of the ONLY major changes from AE to 2nd for character classes is the Temptress, who was added to the AE rules is Hyboria's Fallen. Her class was further revamped when they released 2nd ed. The only other major change I had to deal with when incorporating...

Looking through my copy of Wraith Recon, I don't think it's what you are looking for. There IS an adventure in the main book, but .... I need to clear up some misconceptions first. Wraith Recon are not assassins. They are Navy SEALS ... who use magic instead of tech. I don't mean that the...

Out of curiosity, does your copy of Shadizar have the corrected map? (The one you had to ask for?)

Thinking about it ... none Tracking ... is a solo thing. Think about it, in all those stories and history, when the army or a group is chasing someone, they don't send out a hoard of trackers. They only send one, maybe two, for the junior to learn from the master. Why? Because the more you...

Hmmmmm, if you are willing to borrow from Another Game(TM), I may have something for you. From Fantasy Craft: COOPERATIVE CHECKS When multiple characters work together to perform a task, they make a “cooperative check.” One character becomes the leader and all others become helpers. A maximum...

No. No you should not. The advantages of the spear are already worked into the game. Spears are super cheap, since they are so easy to make. The simplest spear is just a big stick, with one end sharpened, and usually fire-hardened. The standard one spends a little time balancing out the...

I'm curious, are you fixing treasure listed with these adventures as well? The Vault stood out in my mind as I have played it with the Conan conversions provided by the author, but there was one piece of treasure that tripped me up. I was curious to see if it had been updated in the Legend...
