So I was thinking about using the d20 Conan rules for a different setting. The first that came to mind is based on the Bran Mak Morn tales, so it would be ancient Rome. A possible campaign could be the conquest of Britain, and the fights with the locals (Picts in particular.) I would take the races from the book and give them a more modern interpretation. Romans, as the dominant culture, would have the same stats as Hyborians. The Picts of Britain would use the Picts stats. Gauls mercenaries would have Nordheimer stats. These would be the available races for this campaign.
The most common classes would be Fighter, Barbarian, Borderer (as auxiliaries) and possibly Scholars (even spellcasters: Romans would mostly have Diviners, aka Aruspices.) Picts would instead have shamans, summoning all types of horrors from the primeval forests and lands.
From the point of view of equipment, I would exclude the Greatsword and all exotic bows. Full plate armour would be unavailable, but everything in the medium armour category should be more or less available. Anything else?
And what about other settings?
