[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5881861, member: 92305"] The Conan RPG has gone through three versions. The first is akin to D&D 3.0. The Atlantean Edition is Conan's answer to D&D 3.5. And then, there's another edition, the latest and last, that I play, called the 2nd Edition. I notice in Conan and Conan AE that the grapple rule is as it says in the link above--that is, there's a separate attack throw to grab the target first, THEN a throw is made to grapple them. In 2E, it looks like the Grapple rule was revamped into what I describe above, a simple two step process: 1 - Decide if an AoO is appropriate; 2 - Perform the Grapple (against an Opposed roll or Grapple AC, defender's choice). It looks to me that the writers of the 2E Conan game recognized the issue with Grapple in D&D and changed it a bit to make it easier in the game. [/QUOTE]
