[QUOTE="Arrgh! Mark!, post: 1794031, member: 14559"] How did I like the conan rules? They rock, but when things heat up with armor, you begin to get long, slow battles. Measuring your strength + weapon penetration halves enemies armour, 20 points of damage lowers the armours AC bonus by 1.. It was a cool, vaguely realistic armor system. But slow, in the games I played. Fast as anything without armor, but slow as a wet week with it. Admittedly I like Armor as DR, but Conan I think adds a bit much to the equation. The races are excellent and cool. As per my question, I was wondering if I could indeed mix the two - but it would be slow and tedios, and I don't think I'll bother. Just use the Armor converts damage to nonlethal and I'm a happy chappy. I used to think realism in combat was good, being a bit of a historical fencer myself. Trust me, speed in combat is much better. To speed things up, we just said that the armor served as damage reduction, and penetration + Str lowered the DR by that amount. But I think Grim Tales (And it's magic system) would be good for it. I was wondering, though. Could I put in my D20 Cthulu magic? And how would that work? But I'm keeping Armor being DR. [/QUOTE]
