grr... the above is me... forgot to login lol and the cover art is Vegas Mike at Deviantart- if you click on his name in the credits page, you'll pull up his gallery. I suggest that Forum users check him out :)

Wow, and I thought that starting at age 12 was pretty young, especially since I went to a religious school in a religious/conservative community that thinks everything in the world that is fun is, also, inherently evil. :) Also, it was hard to find players, so I taught 'em from the ground up...

Yah vell, mah Nordheimer barbarian is already a tank at 2nd level. With a +5 Con, he heals much more quickly (and has 30 hit points to boot). He also has a large shield, leather tunic and tin hat (or, I mean, horned helmet). As a typical example of how a Nordheimer barbarian might act, Thoren's...

Yeah, well, for some reason every sorceror in scrolls of skelos regarding to power points looks something like this... Sorceror: 20th level, Wis 18 Power Points: 14 (6 base, +4 Wis, +4 Scholar) Total Power Points: 56 the point is that Scrolls of Skelos has NPCs with a 6 base, not a 4 base, as...

did anyone notice that the base Power Points in Conan is 4 (+Wis mod + class modifier) but in Scrolls of Skelos all the NPC sorcerers have a base 6 (+ Wis mod + class modifier)? Does anyone know if Mongoose wants scholars to have 4 or 6?

I've had a similar house rule as Bampf's. Except the player rolls a die, and the GM rolls the other. Highest of the two no matter what. I like having players make increases in HP. That means battles last longer and I don't feel bad about sending demons after them :)

Sorry folks, the above "guest post" was really me. Sometimes I wish the Mongoose Forum wouldn't allow anyone to post unless they belonged to the board... sigh... Vincent- I too, at first thought it a mistake in the Conan RPG book, but I saw it repeated in a Sons of Cimmeria PDF (which also is...

Hmmm.... while the 1982 smash film of the year isn't embraced by Howard elitists, it is the highest grossing project post Howard. Milius' vision had huge ramifications (spurring the Beastmaster series, Red Sonja, Dragonslayer and a host of other imitators) for the film industry. If you notice...

Hmm... some people voted to keep the Craft (swordsmith) skill but fail to reason why. Is it just blind obedience to the rule book? Or is the poll position dead on for your argument? The other side of the sword emphasis on Akbitanan weaponry should be noted however... The Akbitanan weaponry...

Why Craft (swordsmith)? For the craft skill, there is craft (armoursmith), craft (bowyer) and craft (weaponsmith). These skills take care of making armour, bows and weapons. But in two instances, Mongoose has a “Craft (swordsmith)” in print. The first is in the prerequisite for the Akbtitanan...

While the fans may have a good grasp on house ruling this subject... when i read the minimum 1 damage rule, i interpreted it to mean after the DR of Armor was calculated (but not a barbarian's natural skin DR extraordinary quality). However, what immediately popped in my head was a fully...

aye, but a player still "pays" for those background skills by their racial selection. nothing is ever free-> just cleverly balanced between choices. For instance, say you wanted to make a Stygian Soldier. Those background ranks in traditionally magic complentary skills might not be as valuable...

thanks all! I'm a font freak :)

yah, the font that appears in Red in the rulebook :)
