[QUOTE="Maxecat1, post: 5393310, member: 94283"] Hiya, I think taking the 'magic' out of the Pathfinder/D&D system will inherently unbalance all of the classes/monsters etc (not, I guess, that there'll be too many monsters) - it's just that these products are BUILT around high magic worlds... I'd suggest taking a decent look at the Mongoose rules for Conan if you are hell bent on using this style of rules. They toned down magic in a BIG way, but still made it emminently suitable for the setting - especially as even though Conan has a lot of the super natural about it - it's still low magic. I really liked the rules, & they'd be an easy enough fit to port over a few Pathfinder improvements (like skills) without inherently breaking the system. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE what Paizo has done with Pathfinder & will soon be using their Kingmaker AP (The second book of which is about kingdom building & the fifth(?) about warring armies), I just think Conan would be more easily convertible - i.e. you'd be able to use most of it straight out of the book, with a setting change... Even then - if you used the Cimmerian theme, there's the Celtic feel for you. ;) If you do want to try that - it's recently out of production, but there should still be a fair few 2nd edition copies available. Anyway - good luck. Especially if you go with changing Pathfinder - that is a HUGE task. ;) [/QUOTE]
