In Howard?s tales Conan rarely wears a<br>> >> loin-cloth and prefers swordswomen at his side to dancing girls at his<br>> >> feet. A detailed fantasy world created decades before Tolkien. A d20<br>> >> game heavily modified to emulate the bloodthirsty swordplay,<br>> >> corrupting sorcery, and varied cultures of the Hyborian Age. Creatures<br>> >> of human or near-human intelligence are feared man-apes or<br>> >> supernatural monsters. Parties do not have to fill all the traditional<br>> >> roles; a party can be made up of characters of one class or have a mix<br>> >> of classes including barbarians, nobles, soldiers, scholars, and<br>> >> pirates.<br>> >><br>> >><br>> >> Differences from D&D: Enabling heroic deeds in a bloody world of <br>> >> grim sorcery<br>> >> Conan is sword and sorcery rather than the heroic fantasy of D&D. In<br>> >> Conan bloodshed is common, monsters truly terrifying and magic<br>> >> provides curses rather than healing. Conan RPG changes several rules<br>> >> to emulate the genre and promote PC survival in a dangerous world.<br>> >><br>> >> Combat need not be on a grid<br>> >><br>> >> Party Composition: Conan The RPG classes are tougher and more<br>> >> self-sufficient than D&D characters. The CR system with its formulae<br>> >> has also been scrapped. Therefore in this game a good mix of classes<br>> >> is not necessary.<br>> >><br>> >> Cross-Class Skills: extra ranks from intelligence can be spent on<br>> >> cross class skills without penalty.<br>> >><br>> >> Barbarian: same only in name to the D&D class. Built around a fast<br>> >> mobile combat style.<br>> >><br>> >> Multi-classing: can be done without penalty as long as class choices<br>> >> are supported by previously role-played events.
