:roll: So logically you kill off people half ass playing their character and just socializing when everyone else is really playing and giving it their all?

People pay ransoms all the time, and they did it even more so in the old days. History is replete with examples of nobles and family members being held for ransom by enemies. Richard the Lionhearted spent quite a number of months being held for ransom...which was ultimately paid. Jeez I bet...

As a GM the best you can do is just kill your players? Do you kill the players if they don't take your adventure hooks? Do you kill them if they find inventive ways around your story lines and plot holes? As a GM you literally can do anything you want and you just kill players? Come on and...

Why should they personally go after the thieves and brigands when they can just pay a hefty ransom? How many invasions and captured family/clan/friends do you plan to spring on players to keep them going? Why recover something stolen? Payment? What could be stolen from them that they couldn't...

So for those of you against High Living how exactly do you get people to adventure as a GM? What is the incentive to keep playing a character once you have amassed a huge fortune? More fortune? Why not just make an Aquilonian Rogue or Scholar with 18 int and give them the following feats at...

The book plainly says And as a GM I enforce it. There is little to no reason to allow players to save up money as the next adventure they could quite literally lose it all anyway at the start. If you're building vast stock piles of wealth in Conan you're not really playing it the way the...

Sadly if legions of the dead and raise dead can only raise 19 hp Risen Dead, any barbarian worth their salt will just great cleave their way to freedom quite easily. The idea that a scholar could kill anyone higher than 5th level with a ton of zombies is laughable. They need a better undead...

I like the High Living Rule. It lets you keep the adventurers poor as dirt very very easily.

I kind of like the idea of scholars not wearing armor, as in every story about wizards etc they usually aren't armored up at all and are quite easy to kill if you can get through their minions, defenses, traps etc. That said in the original Conan movie it shows Tulsa Doom get off his horse...

That is why you use your extra points from being a scholar in craft (armor smith) and craft (weapons smith) The small amount of time you aren't in dragon form you can have your slaves etc carry it. That or just carry it with a horse and wagon. Cause shape shifting is easier it only costs 5 PP...

See that's the beauty of it. Become beast can be dismissed. And defensive blast is Verbal only so if things got really rough you can just end the ape spell and blast the ever loving snot out of people up close to you. And the best thing is I didn't even get to the really nasty...

Give the Scholar fencing and he quickly can turn the crit into a normal hit :)

But if he directing the undead by concentrating on them and the fact that they are alive only because of him, does that really make it a third party? The Scholar can't do anything other than concentrate as a standard action to maintain the undead staying alive or they fall down in 1d6 rounds...

This is one of the best Conan posts I've seen in a long time thank you.

I don't remember those guys using nature, frost or oriental magics. They had even worse stuff that would kill the monkey guy in a heartbeat.....so they probably didn't think it would have been worth their time. Though I do remember in one of the stories a guy shifting into a giant eagle and...
