[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6019277, member: 92305"] I think the Conan RPG (2E) is an amazing game. I'm a huge fan of the Conan stories, and I think the authors of this d20 version did a spectacular job of capturing the gritty, swords & sorcery feel of the Hyborian Age. Fantastic book. Many agree that it's one of the best versions of d20 to ever see the light of day. What else do I like about it? Combat. It's a warrior centric game. There's a ton of options (and the options aren't all generalized as they are in Pathfinder) for combat, including a lot of combat maneuvers. The Con here is that all these options take time to learn and master. So, it's not a game to pick up and learn in a night. I always suggest learning the game slowly, starting with the vanilla d20 parts and adding on other rule sections as you become familiar with the game. Multi-Classing. It's so easy to multi-class in this game that it's almost a classless game. True, interesting, unique characters can be constructed using this sytem. Armor. It absorbs damage instead of making the character harder to hit! There's a ton of other things I like about it. You can see my various posts about it here on enworld (usually in the Legacy forum). Of late, I've been writing down random thoughts for a Conan GM.
