Hmmm... so they are good for something after all. ;) I'm doing something similar though, I'm raiding old Savage Sword of Conan comics for ideas. :D TTFN, Yokiboy

Yeah I think VorpalBunny (that avatar's not a bunny though is it? :confused: ) right on, they just want combat to be deadlier period. My favorite is the low Massive Damage threshold of 20, which forces you to make a Fort save versus DC10 + 1/2 the damage received. I.e. a minimum Fort save of...

Same reason I won't allow this, but it might work in someone else's campaign. TTFN, Yokiboy

Mongoose Publishing have made great use of Fate Points in Conan the RPG. Where you can use a Fate Point to be "left for dead" on the field of battle. You still have to recover, but you're stable. TTFN, Yokiboy

Hello Bendris, Why can't you just make it harder to come back from the dead? I have IMC. We all agreed that we didn't like the RAW, and adopted some quick and easy rules to make it harder to get raised from the dead. Check out Malhavoc Press' Book of Hallowed Might for some great ideas on how...

Okay that settles it! I'm rolling up a character with my daughter this weekend. I might not play D&D though, as I'm a big fan of both FUDGE and Over the Edge (the system, not the setting in this case). Sounds like a great little campaign BryonD, Yokiboy

Hi thullgrim, I have a sister 12 years younger than myself, and when she was about 6 years old I ran her and a cousing (also 6 at the time) through a very cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adventure. They used pregens, the real turtles of course, but the adventure was anything but a dungeon...

First of all, I don't go out of my way to screw over my party. :) Secondly Caliban, I agree with your suggestions, and they're in line with my own. I just wish the rulebooks dealt with this issue. However, my characters didn't try to solve the level drain issue by any other means than magic...

I think that's very classy! Cudos to Mongoose for trying to make up for their mistake. TTFN, Yokiboy

You use the same argument I did dcollins, this is exactly how I played it.

Scion, I know and realize full well that Bear's Endurance helps you with all Fort saves, but I think I didn't make that clear enough to begin with. I am surprised that there's nothing in the FAQ about this, such as being able to use the Heal skill to determine when the character faces the most...

Is that the official word, or how you treat it in your campaign (oh no, now I might be off to the House Rules forum again :D).

Why should it be moved to House Rules, when I'm simply asking how to interpret the rules? I honestly don't know if casting Bear's Endurance on a character suffering negative levels as a result of a Level Drain. The reason is that the Level Drain save takes place 24 hours after the actual level...

I could e-mail you the file, it is actually quite nice. TTFN, Yokiboy

Hello gang, Would you allow Bear's Endurance to improve a Fort save vs Level Drain? I didn't. :D TTFN, Yokiboy

Speaking of the buff spells, would you allow Bear's Endurance to help improve a Fort Save vs Level Drain? I didn't. :D TTFN, Yokiboy

Hello Morpheus, I gotta tell you though, that I am also dissapointed in the poor job of editing Conan the RPG, but seriously I'd still be happy with it if it had twice the editing blunders! :p I think they captured the feel of Conan just beautifully. It does feel like a draft of a game in...

Okay, my top suggestion then is Unknown Armies, the magic system is not to hard to port over to d20. Perhaps make an Expert able to choose one of the magic schools from Unknown Armies and you're set. The system is way different than standard D&D and a whole ton cooler! :) Or how about Ars...

Actually it has been done quite well if you know where to look. The foremost game on the subject is a Swedish game called "Viking", featuring a system sort of akin to the d6 system of West End Games fame. It is a very nice game, with a distinct Norse feel to it. There's also the Land of Giants...

True dat! Btw, Iron_Chef, are you from Scandinavia? I'm from Sweden myself.
