[QUOTE="Krieg, post: 1242828, member: 5282"] Hmm, that is definitely an interesting idea. It will certainly keep your players away from ever wanting to get into combat! My fingers have been crossed for quite some time regarding Conan D20. I'm not a big fan of Mongoose, but Slaine & Judge Dredd both turned out pretty decent, so there is hope. Also on the horizon [URL=http://www.guardiansorder.com/]Guardians of Order[/URL] is doing a D20 adaptation of George R.R. Martin's [URL=http://www.georgerrmartin.com/]A Game of Thrones[/URL] fantasy series. If you are not familiar with the books, they are low fantasy very much in keeping with the atmosphere of Harn. The main issue was changing the focus from a contemporary setting to a more "medieval" one. You're going to have to go over the professional templates & modify them to fit the setting, but that is relatively easy. I added an aditional layer of granularity for weapon feats. Basically everyone starts out with the Simple Weapons Proficiency feat. I then broke the martial weapons into related groups. Various templates get one or more of the "martial groups" as part of their starting packages. Exotic Weapons are per D&D (ie one per Feat). For magic I'm using the system from Midnight which allows anyone to learn some magic at the cost of a feat. The Channeler class is for "dedicated" magic users (I'm using the spells & templates for AU instead of the PHB). Each Shek-Pvar convocation has individualized spell lists & a "buy in" feat. Grey mages are a prestige class with all of the convocations as a pre-req. Divine spell-casters are similar...restricted spell lists per god & prestige classes for priests. Your best bet is to continously scan e-bay for good deals. Do some research on which books you really want, be patient & wait until they pop up in your price range. Be careful not to get caught up in bidding wars (of course that is always something to keep in mind with e-bay! lol). FWIW I do have some duplicate copies of various Harn products. If you are looking for specific items, just let me know as I may have a copy. Good places to start for Harn related info: [URL=http://www.harnlist.com/]Harn List[/URL] [URL=http://www.harnforum.com/index.php]Harn Forum[/URL] [URL=http://lythia.com/]Lythia.com[/URL] [URL=http://www.columbiagames.com/HarnPage/ArticleIndex/articles1.html]Harn articles[/URL] For general source material you might also want to look into [URL=http://www.enworld.org/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=AMMSWE1]A Magical Medieval Society: Wester Europe[/URL] as it is very "Harnic" in feel (although with a slightly "higher" magic level).
