[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6136314, member: 92305"] I don't think it's any more simulationist than requireing a move action to pull a sword from it's scabbard, or a GM figuring how long it takes a character to pull his shield off his back and use it in combat. I'm still thinking a Move action to string the bow. That way, the bow can be strung and fired in the same six second round--all the character gives up his is movement. (The rules address readying a shield is a Move action, too.) Yes. That's in the rules (in the d20 D&D rules, too, I'm pretty sure). There's a special rule in Conan, that if they do sharpen their blades, and make a check, they can get a +1 to Critical Threat Range on their first attack. So, most of my players do make this check during their downtime. Our stories are pretty addictive, but yeah, players will buy new clothes, pay for a bath or indicate that they're having one, from time to time--when it's appropriate. We do tend to skip going to the bathroom. I've had some fantastic times with spell components. I remember a mage needed iron slivers for a spell once, and he ended up taking filings from the rusted hinges on the dungeon doors! I gave him extra XP for creative thinking! Yes, published by Mongoose. It's 3.5 d20 based. Many of the same rules. Some rules are quite different.
