No he isn't :wink:

I believe there are a fair number of players that have been looking for a game mechanic to better handle the power in sorcerers that others so fear. In my games, I usually do not allow sorcerer PCs beacuse I want the dark powers of Hyboria and those that wield them to remain a terrifying...

Yes -we all have our opinions, and mine sometimes differ from the rules as written :). After some additional thought, here are two more options. 1 – Have the feint deny the opponent either his Parry or Dodge, just not both (feinting fighter chooses which). This allows the one making the feint...

This does go way back on these boards and I will not exhaust myself again by going through another debate about the issue. (Let’s just say I was not pro bluff/feint resulting in a DV of 10 and allowing both finesse/sneak attacks.) Here are some suggestions if the whole feinting issue is...

From Conan AE - I believe the "1d6 FIRE damage" may have something to do with those thinking fireball. :wink: But there are plenty of good house rule suggestions to change the type of damage delivered. Conan AE also states "The sorcerer himself is unaffected by his own blast." Hope this...

Hey Argo! Long time no see. I go away from 2 years and the same things are still being argued :) Here is an old thread: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1685&start=0 Here was my suggestion back in March of 2004: It has been working fine in my games too (having DB as...

I don't have any S&P magazines, but come on over to the game and send me a Request to Join. That will allow us to chat via Private Message and work things out. I'm sure we can fit one more in. We'd be glad to have you join.

Here is a link to the game. Let me know if it doesn't work. http://rpol.net/game.cgi?gi=3825&gn=Conan+the+Roleplaying+Game&date=1105325662 You'll need to create a user ID to Request to Join should you be interested. Please note, I also have numerous topics in that game only accepted players...

The current party is level 4 and looks like this: Brythunian barbarian (male) A soldier from the Black Kingdoms (female) Zingaran noble/pirate (male) A scholar (sorcerer) from Khitai (male) Things have just taken a bad turn for the party and they are now held captive. Your character will start...

The game has been great so far. I have 4 players that have been with me since the beginning (started with 6) and we are now entering a new phase in the story. I'm looking for two more players to join. It is a good time for new characters to enter the story (so you will not be taking on the role...

We had round and round debates about this feint and kill stuff before AE was printed. I relayed multiple warnings and said my peace on that long ago as the RulesMasters were thinking of reversing their original clarification/ruling (which had feint work like in DnD 3.x). Its a neat change from...

Drum roll please . . . . Argo - In Conan AE (page 173), feinting now results in your opponent being unable to dodge or parry at all against your next melee attack. They are also open to a sneak attack with this strike since they are unable to dodge or parry. Just thought I'd pass on the news :)

I sort of went wild. I LOVE Conan AE and actually bought two copies, and I also have the first printing of Conan as well. AE clears up many things and has some new and interesting content as well. Players with the old book don't have to buy it, but I am very happy I did. Great book so far...

I'm only online for a minute here but thought I would throw this in to help: Conan AE - Parrying "It is possible to to deflect blows without having an item in your hand; however, if a character is completely unarmed, he receives a -4 penalty to his Parry Defence. Characters with the Improved...

Just to help with the conversation, I thought I would quote from Conan AE: "Any time a war sword is being used in two hands, it may be used as a finesse weapon and to make piercing attacks." This was probably added to clear up any confusion.
