[QUOTE="InzeladunMaster, post: 1973057, member: 9774"] Several things. 1) Racism: Cimmerians hate Picts, etc. I always rather was annoyed with how well all the PC races seem to get along in DnD. 2) Skills actually make a difference. Characters are not defined by their magical equipment in [I]Conan the Roleplaying Game [/I] 3) The atmosphere is different. This is hard to quantify, but it is there. 4) Lower massive damage threshold and weapons do more damage. 6) Not only does a character get to bump up a stat every 4 levels, but at 6th level and every 4 thereafter the character gets to bump up ALL of his stats. 7) The way treasure is handled. 8) Armour offers damage reduction but doesn't make a person harder to hit. 9) Lower hit points. Hit point thresholds work a lot like 1st edition AD&D - after 10th level, a character recieves a flat rate of hit points and gains no more Con bonuses. 10) More active combat. This is hard to describe, but in my DnD games, everyone pretty much uses their favourite weapons over and over. In my [I]Conan[/I] games, people break swords, throw their weapons, grab up fallen weapons, use bottles, chairs, etc. with great frequency. That is but the tip of the iceburg, but I hope it helps.
