Dang S'mon, you make me wanna play Conan the RPG even more than before, and wonder why the heck I'm posting on EnWorld instead of actually reading the book?! :p

Hi gang, I just drained a level off a Wizard, and since the spells he gained are already in his spellbook, I ruled that he still has access to them, but what about when he eventually regains his lost level? I.e. will he gain two new spells through his research, after all he has to earn the...

Hey Beast, Check out the Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering from Steve Jackson Games. It's a short little booklet that is well worth the $10 pricetag. It will give you insights on what would take years to discover by trial and error. TTFN, Yokiboy

I found a copy of Drakar & Demoner (Swedish RPG) at my local toy store. The store operators had no idea what it was about, but the game manufacturer had an excellent distributor at the time, and managed to get RPGs into mainstream stores. After this however, it was definitely a local game store...

Hey it happens, but please don't make me explain... :p This is an excellent point, and one I will keep in mind. I am about to unleash a labyrinth full of traps on my party, and this will keep me focused on the good stuff, thanks. Nope, but my players hate Take 20, because they feel it's...

Actually Christian, I'm with Darklone, but my reason might be different. I simply don't like Take 20 because it's dull and boring. Plus players like to roll dice, not know that they will succeed at a given DC based on their skill level plus 20. The boring part also affects me as the DM, since I...

Players who are dying for combat to start, then take a pee-break just as it's their turn to act! Players who make snack runs during intense moments. Players who fiddle with their cell phones during a game (this has been banned at my games). Players falling asleep during role-playing...

Good points Crothian and Seule, I should have thought of that... :p Thanks, Yokiboy

First of all, thanks for the mega-quick reply AR! :) Secondly, I buy that explanation to a degree, but you do get a hefty penalty as well. Two arrows -4, three arrows -6, and four arrows -8 to hit penalty. That's rather steep considering that the step between normal multiple attacks is -5. A...

The Manyshot feat's description starts of like so "As a standard action, you may fire two arrows at a single opponent within 30 feet. Both arrows use the same attack roll (with a –4 penalty) to determine success and deal damage normally". As it refers to a standard action, can it be used with a...

My hat is off to you IC, I dislike NPCs tagging along with the party IMC, as I always forget about them. I like some of your ideas though, and will give this a try sometime. Like someone else pointed out, I tend to believe (without having read the Conan rules yet) that combats in Conan might...

Dangit! I wish I could've been at that gaming table Iron Chef... How many player characters were in the party, and how did you handle all the "extras"? TTFN, Yokiboy

Hi Olgar, Any chance you could drop me a copy as well? TTFN, Yokiboy

Are spells affected by Damage Reduction or are they covered only by Spell Resistance? I recently put my party up against a group of creatures with DR, SR and Fire, Acid, and Cold Resistance. How would you handle, for instance, a fireball against said creatures? Would you first roll to beat the...

What are the rules for objects, or more specifically terrain features such as undergrowth and trees catching on fire? I've read the rules of forest fires and find them quite nice, but what are the chances of heavy undergrowth catching on fire? I had the entire party IMC get attacked in a forest...

Hi arbados, I know the one you're talking about, but I deleted the link when I switched to 3.5. Here's some other links that might be of help to you: Black Bart's Hero Forge MW Tools Dragon Generator MW Tools Stat Block Generator The obligatory Jamis Buck's NPC Generator Jamis Buck's NPC...

I agree with Mr. Patient, AEG's Toolbox had so much potential, but all those stupid encounter tables were just a waste of space, especially as there's no CR or EL listed for any of the entries. The stat blocks are horrible. I would still buy an updated 3.5 version of the book, if it adopted...

Although I don't know how reliable the Wyrm's Hoard is as I got the same two adventures when searching for the setting "kalamar". :p TTFN, Yokiboy

First place has got to go to the trio of 3.5 Core Rule Books. After that I loved the following books: * Crime and Punishment (Atlas Games) * Dangerous Denizens (Kenzer & Co.) * Dynasties and Demagogues (Atlas Games) I must give the nod to Crime and Punishment if I only had to pick one book...

Port Blacksand Rules! I love The City of Thieves too! Please try the link, I dare you to enter Port Blacksand... TTFN, Yokiboy
