I just spent almost 45 minutes on that site when I realized I forgot how I got there! Very cool stuff! Where was this technology when we were writing reports in high school? :?

I just finished reading the new Conan comic from Dark Horse and I like it! From what I understand, they (artist, writer, etc) are going to try to keep it faithful to Howards stories. Not having read all of them (reading the collection now), I can't comment on that, but it does look good. I...

Yeah, the more I thought about it, it makes sense. Using 2 hands to deliver a blow will obviously make it easier to penetrate armor, therefore adding to the AP of the weapon. Like I said before, High strength+2- handed weapons=massive damage with little defense. Thanks rook111!

Sorry, but I know about the multiples to damage. I'm talking about adding the multiplier of Strength to the AP of the weapon. Joe the Barbarian: Str 18 (+4) weapon:Greatsword(2 handed of course) When attacking, does Joe add 4 or 6 to the AP of the weapon to overcome the DR of armor. If...

I hate to say it Iron_Chef but it is 6d10 (WOW!). Under the Weapon qualities: crititcal it says "roll the damage two, three, or four times" On a side note can you answer a question for me. When using a weapon 2-handed (Bardiche), do you add 1.5 of strength to the AP or just the normal...

Thanks SJE for simply typing the word Necropolis. I don't have the original, but I did pick up the d20 version. After reading through it, it has sat on the shelf, until now. I don't plan on transferring the whole adventure, but the book does contain a ton of ideas. The maps of the temples...

I agree. But this also raises a question. Due to the unusual amount of errors and rules questions that need correcting, is this going to affect the release date of the Skelos book. I hope not because I want this book now, I need this book now, I....must....have....the....scrolls....of....Skelos!!

Just about to say that. Although there are no primitive weapons on the Akbitanan chart. The comparisons are made from the Akbitanan chart and the normal chart. And you are right the only thing to change is the AP, Hardness, HP, and +1 to attack. The confusion lies with the war spear damage...

How in the world are there references to spells that don't exist? How does this happen? Sure theres a lot of typos that are pretty bad and there is some horrible chart to material references, but how does something get into the book that is not part of the game. It's like reading a Star Trek...

I disagree. You don't add your strength mod to the AP of the weapon because your not trying to go through the armor, your trying to go between, underneath, or around the armor. With that said, your still hitting or piercing with force so your STR mod does count for damage. There is a combat...

Very nice. As many characters as all of us gamers have made over the years it's still nice to see a detailed list of steps. I think some of the companies assume everyone knows how to make a character and tends to leave things like this out. Cool and thanks.

To start this off, since nobody else said it, the weapon tables list the poniard as doing 1d6 damage and the example is 1d4, go figure. When I first read the sneak attack, I thought I understood, now I'm confused. I initially thought it was correct save the weapon damage. (2d8) from 4th...

Not to mention it it listed as a piercing weapon as well. In comparison the heavy mace is pictured with spikes and only lists bludgeoning as type and only a AP of 4. When you read through a new book you miss little things like that. Thanks for heads up.

While researching the question I came across this. In the lay priest background on pg. 61, it refers one to Chapter 5: Tricks of sword and sorcery. Was this a blatant mistake or what. Does this chapter even exist. No chapter numbers and I can't find that title anywhere. Of course I could be...

From 11th level on, PCs only gain 1,2,or 3 hit points depending on their Hit Die. It's somewhat limiting. Better than D20 at least.
