My nature scholar is TOTALLY shifting into a duck next time. Screw giant eagle, I should've gone giant duck! though the mini might be hard to find!

I could care less about the system - it was new to me when I started playing conan. Much of the strength of this game is due to the strength of the fantasy realm, not the system. What I care about is not having my books become obsolete. If it changes over, one of two things will happen: A)...

I have to agree, for me MRQ would be slightly dissapointing. It automatically means that every book I buy I'm spending something for something I will never use. Which means that marginal books for me will be books I choose not to own going forward. Two systems will either dilute the content...

I'm hoping it isn't some dramatic change, but rather maybe a refocusing/reorganizing/rebalancing of the current published material. There is probably a fair bit of stuff that could be consolidated into errata or something. Its too late for me to estimate what that would look like, or even...

I hope you're feeding him well.

Any news or previews on this offering? I'm looking forward to it.

That's what the leadership Feat is for. Step 1) Create a great roleplay character. Step 2) Get a decent level - 2 follower for the dice rolling. Step 3) Profit

I would make it some sort of survival DC check using that system - I think there is a way to benefit others with a positive check. I would also allow creative use of the heal skill to protect against adverse affects. The part shouldn't have too much trouble in my eyes, at least so much that it...

A few levels of scholar is amazing! The first four levels nets you a will save boost, 3 free feats (soldier equivelent for a different subset of feats) and TONS of skillpoints. I believe scholar classes are essential for creating any fencing character, as knowledge (Aq or Zing fencing) is a...

While I don't think it is all that deep of a book, the Player's Guide is a good 2nd or 3rd book because it lists all the stuff you can find in other books while giving the basics to start as pretty much any class. Return to Road of Kings was a HUGE help in my roleplaying for my first character...

Our group actually did it that way for a short while (Failed check invokes crimson mist) First, it really made the power worse a lot of times. There were a lot of fights against big nasties that I made my will save (Barb with code of honor tend to make terror checks) and don't get to use...

You could just use the "Called Strike" combat manuever from the new book Warrior's Companiion if the goal is to hit specific areas and do more damage. Of course, if the goal is to cause massive damage at range, (which, of course, is most always the goal of power attack) then I'd not allow that...

Mechanically, it is probably fine. However, with the way bows are in Conan, with str ratings and all, I just don't see how you can get a more powerful shot out of the same bow. You may be better off with a feat that allows a character to use a higher str rating bow than they normally could...

I am very excited about this supplement. I've been wanting to try out "Animal Ally" for a long time, but the really useful animals to pick overshadow dogs by a long shot. Now with war dog and barding, it will actually be useful. The key additions are the new animal feats to take when they get...

All this WotC paranoia is frankly entertaining. It's probably just large corporate bungling of an attempt to reduce piracy rather than any tinfoil hat conspriracy to get rid of various competing games. Seems a lot of people are biting on the april fools joke last week. And maybe that was...
