[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5567426, member: 92305"] How did you employ speeds in RCFG? This is true. The Speed Attack is the same attack, against the same opponent, using the same weapon. If your foe dies because he only had 1 HP left, then you do not get Speed Attack against another foe. Sounds cool to me! With the condition that you'll tell me your alterations...because, heck, I might like any tweak you do better! B-) Yes, the Conan d20 does have rules for smaller or bigger opponents. We have our pygmies and frost giants to fight. Also, the Conan d20 game increases most weapon damage across the board, making weapons deadlier than their D&D counterparts. A one-handed battleaxe does 1d10. A hunting spear does 1d8. A war sword (bastard sword) does 1d12. And a two-handed great sword does 2-18 (1d10 + 1d8). The rule can easily be changed to cite "minimum damage", but note that most of the elligible weapons (in the Conan Game) all do a single die type of damage. I think there are one or two excpetions of the two-handed piercing variety. [COLOR=green]A GM could either change the rule to say "minimum damage," or the single damage die could become one of the rule's requirements.[/COLOR] Thus a Hunting Spear (1d8 damage) and a War Spear (1d10 damage) would both be elligible weapons, but the Bill (2d8 damage) would not be elligible. This would work witht he Conan RPG but be a bit more problematic with standard D&D. Thanks for bringing it up, though. I think it is a good requirement for the Speed Attack. I didn't mention it in the OP, but I did intend the rule to be "exploding". The chance that the explosion happens, though, is very, very slim. It will be a rare day when there are two extra attacks, back-to-back. Just think--How many times in a row have you rolled a "1" on damage? Not often, huh? An exploding attack would be so rare that I don't think its necessary to change anything about damage or the rule to accomdate it. It will be one of those quirks of the battlefield--the oddity that wins or loses the day. [/QUOTE]
