Thanks for the savage worlds advice. I have the Savage worlds Ruleset. It looked like a decent fit, but was my third choice. The one thing I like about GURPS and Uni was that hitting in specific locations can cause ALOT of damage and its possible to one shot a power house if you get lucky...

I was curious how many people run a Conan game using the setting, but different rulesets. I am starting a GURPS campaign and am a bit curious as to how the game will compare to the OGL version. I have only played a bit of the OGL, and while I appreciated the Changes from D20 to capture the...

I could see a penalty for using Bows wearing armor. If you have ever shot a bow, even sleeves like those of a sweat shirt hinder you a bit. For melee weapons I could see a penalty, but since dex is only 1/2 the formula for close combat weapon skill I think the penalty should be 1/2...

There is an elemental mentioned in the story "The Hour of the Dragon" where in a huge battle The villian, a supremely powerful sorceror, convinces an earth elemental to cause a cliff to fall on 5000 of Conan's knights along with the man who was pretending to be him dressed in his armor. The...

The reason I dont mind the Barbarian having an advantage in a one on one combat is he is also a warrior and I can live with edge going to barbarian. THe iniative issue creates a whole separate issue. It gives Pirates and Thieves the ability to face down the soldier and win easily should they...

Head to head Barbarian vs Soldier the soldier is at a disadvantage, i dont have a big problem with this. Something I do have a problem with is being flat footed in ALL lose initative situations. I do not see any reason for a char to be flat footed in a situation where he and his opponent are...

Sorry about the mix up, I just remember the last name wasnt sure if it was you or your brother. As for the fight game, I think You will have an Email on the way, Timing though, just as I had my game tight I settle down, get engaged and have a Good ole company man type job, And living here on...

Heh I have heard of you. And I agree IFC is certainly honorable mention at the least and has produced several fighters who have seen success in shows like the UFC. At one time Extreme Challenge was also very close, I dont know what level of competition they have now but I know 4-5 years ago...

A question for the Guest who is a 3 time world NHB champion. What organization is that in? I have 9 MMA fights and follow the sport very closely though I have only fought 2 professional fights I keep up with the major organizations and a few of the minor ones. I Assume when you say NHB you...

Keep in mind there is a real life practical example of armor (modern armor) against an attack. The guys who robbed the Bank in LA a few years back ('94 I think) had class IV armor, the rough approximation to plate armor in todays time, sans helmet. They walked around as if they were milling...

Make no mistake I do believe in a full flat footed situation where a sneak attacker "gets the drop" on an opponent or has him flanked. I can even see several initiative situations where it can happen. But definitely NOT all initiative situations. I dont really care how clear the rules are, they...

From reading the text, a sneak attack can only occur in 2 situations, the victim is denied his dodge or parry bonus from an attack or is flanked. Yet to me this seems very unbalanced. Just because a person or side loses initiative does not mean he is standing there with his thumb in...
